Quantum Computing in the US National Cybersecurity Strategy

Hey there! Post-quantum encryption and quantum computing landed straight in the new US National Cybersecurity Strategy!

Imagine the digital world is like a huge game of hide-and-seek. We've got secrets to protect (the hiders) and hackers who want to uncover them (the seekers). In this epic game, encryption is like our invisibility cloak, keeping our secrets hidden from prying eyes.

But, as we all know, every good game evolves. Enter quantum computing - the game-changer! It's like giving the seekers a pair of high-tech, secret-revealing goggles, making our invisibility cloaks less effective.

To stay ahead of the game, strategy recognised the importance of deploying and broad usage of post-quantum encryption, which is like designing a new, ultra-powerful invisibility cloak to outsmart those secret-revealing goggles. This next-gen encryption will ensure our digital hide-and-seek game remains fair.

But the strategy is not just focusing on defence; it also refers to harnessing the power of quantum computing for good.
