Post-Quantum Today: How Your Passwords Will Be Safe in a Quantum Future
This talk explains RSA encryption, how Shor’s algorithm could break it, the current state of quantum hardware, and why post-quantum cryptography matters now. It also introduces lattice-based quantum-safe encryption and current adoption progress, helping audiences understand future cryptography and “harvest now, decrypt later” risks.

This talk explores:
* how classical RSA encryption works
* how quantum algorithms (i.e. Shor’s algorithm) break RSA
* brief overview of where we are regarding quantum hardware
* why PQC still matters right now, to prevent “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks
* what lattice-based PQC looks like and how far along we already are in adopting it
The target audience is everyone generally interested in future technologies. Especially everyone who might have heard about quantum computing and Shor's algorithm breaking encryption, but don't know what that means for the future of cryptography and where we're at today.
The key take aways are a (very basic) general understanding how quantum computing works, to understand how it has the potential to break RSA, as well as quantum-safe encryption methods that are already being put in place, how they work and what the future might look like.
