Modern encryption, when used correctly, is very strong. Cracking an encrypted message can take an incredibly long time. But within the foreseeable future, cracking those same codes could become trivial, thanks to quantum computing. A quantum computer could crack a cipher that uses the RSA or EC algorithms almost immediately. Most enterprises use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for sensitive U.S. government information that is not classified, an analyst says. For classified information, the algorithms used to protect it are, of course, themselves classified.”]
