Photo: ShutterstockAccelerating quantum deadlines have pushed global organisations to ready their systems by the turn of the decade, but as experts warn a quantum computer could soon cause internet-wide cryptography failures, is 2030 too late? After observing significant “progress on quantum computing hardware development”, tech giant Google quickened its own PQC migration deadlines to 2029. Goldberg added that even if it's unlikely a powerful-enough quantum computer exists before 2030, the damage it could cause is so great that “we need to take action now”. “A [cryptographically relevant] quantum computer does not currently exist, and the timeframe for its development remains uncertain. Another determined that organisations need realistic, staged roadmaps rather than a single, hard cut-off date.
