Planning beats merely reacting to quantum risk - The Standard (HK)

Summary

The article discusses the risks that quantum computing poses to current encryption methodologies, including public-key cryptography like RSA. Quantum cryptography, specifically quantum key distribution (QKD), is presented as a countermeasure to these risks. Quantum key distribution is being tested in a trial communications network in London, indicating proactive measures for cybersecurity in the quantum era. The tags 'Quantum cryptography, Quantum key distribution, Public-key cryptography, LONDON' are directly relevant to the article's focus on the development and implementation of quantum-secure encryption methods as a response to quantum computing's potential to break current encryption.
