Quantum computing isn’t a far-off sci-fi threat. In a hybrid model (CPU + GPU + quantum), it could land within ~3 years—and that’s enough to break today’s
asymmetric cryptography (RSA/ECC/PKI) used for TLS/HTTPS and VPN key exchange via Shor’s algorithm. Result? Session keys exposed, mass decryption possible, and a risky “post-quantum gap” before new hardware/software are widely deployed.

In this frank discussion, OTW joins David Bombal to explain:
• Why asymmetric key exchange is the weak link for TLS/VPNs
• How hybrid quantum + CUDA-Q accelerates timelines
• Nation-states’ “collect now, decrypt later” strategy
• The painful window before post-quantum cryptography (PQC) rolls out
• Risks of client-side scanning and on-device AI
• NSA backdoors, PGP/Phil Zimmermann, and the San Bernardino iPhone case
