The cybersecurity world is bracing for 'Q-Day': the day when quantum computers become powerful enough to crack the RSA/ECC encryption protecting global banking today.
Scientific Study: Shor's Algorithm
According to the journal Nature, quantum processors like 'IBM Osprey' (433 qubits) are approaching the threshold to run Shor's Algorithm. This algorithm can theoretically factorize giant numbers in seconds—something that would take classical supercomputers millions of years.
Solution: Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
NIST has released new algorithm standards that are 'quantum-resistant'. At Cyber Matrix, we are starting to educate corporate clients to transition to PQC encryption before Q-Day arrives (predicted around 2027-2030).
