Cryptologist Finds AES-128 Likely Safe From Quantum Attack
Matt Swayne
Insider Brief Quantum computers are unlikely to weaken today’s widely used symmetric encryption, according to a new analysis that challenges a common assumption about quantum threats and suggests security efforts should focus elsewhere. A blog post by cryptography researcher Filippo Valsorda finds that 128-bit symmetric keys, such as those used in AES-128, remain effectively secure […]
