The Future of Encryption: Quantum Computing's Influence by 2030

Quantum computing is poised to change the very foundation of digital security. By 2030, experts predict that current encryption methods—once considered virtually unbreakable—could become obsolete. This video explores how quantum algorithms like Shor’s and Grover’s will give future computers the power to crack even the strongest digital locks, threatening everything from online banking to national security. It also reveals the growing “harvest now, decrypt later” threat, where hackers steal encrypted data today to unlock it once quantum power matures. As the digital world races toward this new era, global researchers are developing Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to protect sensitive data before it’s too late. Discover how these next-generation defenses work, what challenges lie ahead, and what steps individuals and organizations can take now to safeguard their information. The quantum future is coming faster than most realize—being prepared today may be the only real security tomorrow.
