"If you want long-term security, it might even be too late," said Thomas Pöppelmann, a cryptography engineer at German chipmaker Infineon and co-creator of one of the PQC algorithm candidates. Hackers or nations can record network data, for example, when internet routing problems send traffic across borders to China or other nations. #Quantum break crack status crackedThe urgency comes because today's encrypted data could be collected now and cracked later. "But I'm a little singed." Harvest data now, crack it later "I'm not quite hair on fire," said Brian LaMacchia, who leads encryption work at Microsoft Research. Researchers at Intel and NTT Research and 451 Research analyst James Sanders reckon it will take on the order of a decade. But already Cloudflare has tested post-quantum protections and plans to adopt them for internal operations this year. John Graham-Cumming, chief technology officer of internet infrastructure company Cloudflare, said there's a lot of uncertainty: It could take five years before quantum computers can crack encryption or it could take 20.
