Hi All,
The Global Risk Intitute just published Quantum Threat Time Report 2024
The urgency of moving to quantum-resistant cryptography varies for each organization, based on its security needs and risk tolerance. This urgency can be gauged using three primary factors:
• the shelf-life time: how many years the data must remain secure for;
• the migration time: how many years it will,take to securely upgrade the systems guarding that data;
• the threat timeline: the estimated time until potential adversaries gain access to quantum computers of cryptographic significance.
The Mosca inequality states that, if the quantum threat timeline (QTT) is less than the combinedduration of the shelf-life and migration times, then organizations might fail to shield their assets from quantum-enabled breaches. The aim of this report is to provide an educated perspective of how far away the quantum threat is.
This report sheds light onto the quantum threat timeline by examining the perspectives of 32 global experts from academia and industry, involved in diverse aspects of quantum computing development. These experts responded to questions aimed at gaining valuable insights on the cyber-risk posed by quantum cryptanalysis.
