How Quantum Computing Could Still Collide With Encryption

Lucas and Luna explore the collision course between quantum computing and modern encryption. They focus on the specific timeline risk for RSA-2048, a standard that secures trillions of dollars in online transactions. The episode unpacks why a quantum computer with just 20 million high-fidelity physical qubits could break RSA, the sobering timeline estimates from NIST and IBM, and what post-quantum cryptography standardization means for banks, cloud providers, and everyday secure browsing. They also discuss the quiet work happening inside companies like Google and Amazon to prepare their infrastructure, and why the 'store now, decrypt later' threat is already real for long-lived data. No hype, no doomsday — just the concrete math and engineering challenges that define the next decade of computing security. #QuantumComputing #Encryption #RSA #PostQuantumCryptography #Cybersecurity #NIST #IBM #Google #Amazon #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FutureComputing #Qubits #QuantumHardware #DataSecurity #Crypto #LatticeBasedCrypto Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
