Quantum Computers Are Not a Threat to 128-bit Symmetric Keys

The advancing threat of cryptographically-relevant quantum computers has made it urgent to replace currently-deployed asymmetric cryptography primitives—key exchange ECDH and digital signatures RSA, ECDSA, EdDSA—which are vulnerable to Shor’s quantum algorithm. It does not, however, impact existi...

A Novel Quantum Augmented Framework to Improve Microgrid Cybersecurity
