Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): The Race Against Q-Day

What is Q-Day — and how close are we to the moment quantum computers can break today’s encryption? Q-Day represents the upcoming date when quantum computing becomes powerful enough to break today's modern encryption. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is designed to resist quantum attacks and replace vulnerable standards like RSA and ECC. In this video, we explore how quantum computers threaten RSA-2048 and ECC, why the timeline may be closer than previously thought, and NIST-approved Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards.
