Computer Security after Quantum Computers. Shor's and Grover's Algorithms.
The recent development of Quantum Computers represents a breach in the security of the data protection systems we use, travel through, and store via computing.
Documents as financial, healthcare, and intellectual property reports, documents from public bodies' websites, academic papers, technical designs, industrial and creative prototypes, cryptocurrencies, law firm documentation, and even the Internet sites and protocols, applications, and confidential files generated daily by companies, businesses, and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs), all have their security and confidentiality at risk.

In other words, the current computer Cybersecurity systems most commonly used have been threatened by the development of Quantum Computers.
These computers can effortlessly break the current encryption systems that protect our data in just a matter of hours or minutes, thus clearly compromising the confidentiality of private documents.
Quantum Computers and Quantum Algorithms
There are several algorithms designed to be run on Quantum Computers. They represent notable scientific advancements in several fields, but also pose a risk to current Cryptography, encryption systems and data interchange. The most important are:
- Shor's algorithm, developed in 1994 by mathematician Peter Williston Shor, who at that time worked for AT&T Research.
He currently resides at MIT.
-
Grover's algorithm, developed by mathematician Lov Kumar Grover, an algorithm on which the aforementioned Peter Shor also collaborated to some extent.
The algorithm was developed at Bell Labs in 1996.
The advantages of these quantum algorithms are that they obtain results in extraordinarily short times compared to the times required by classical computers. This speed is due to the physical principles that govern atoms.

Consolidated Systems in Danger: The Post-Quantum Era
Data protection and encryption systems that have been well established over the years in countless countries, such as the well-known and widespread RSA, encryption algorithm which has been used by governments, multinational companies, different businesses and entities to protect the privacy of their files, are exposed after the development of Quantum Computers in conjunction with Shor's and Grover's algorithms, which has given rise to the Post-Quantum Era of Cryptography,
also known in English as Post-Quantum Cryptography or PQC for short.
This is why Cybersecurity companies must rethink the design of new encryption systems that overcome the undeniable threat of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
Our PQEncrypter, a name that stands for Post-Quantum Encrypter, was designed with this in mind. It leaves not only Quantum Computers but also classical computers out of the game, as they can not decrypt the messages from our encrypter, no matter how much computing time they dedicate to it.
See and learn about the features of PQEncrypter and how it can overcome the PQC phenomenon, reliably protecting the security of SMEs most precious and sensitive files, even if they are stored on remote Servers, in the so-called Cloud.
