China joins Google in claiming quantum supremacy with new technology, ratcheting up RSA decryption concerns. The latest news in the U.S./China Sputnik-like race for quantum dominance should be a warning to security teams — the time to act is now. A harvesting attack right now could grab an RSA encryption key to be filed away until quantum computing catches up.
Quantum Xchange advised that security teams should deploy solutions agile enough to evolve along with both threats and still to-be-determined NIST standards — and they should do it now.
