Passwords and Quantum Computers

For several years researchers warned public that about 600 qubit quantum computers with modern algorithms can break encryption. https://en.wik= ipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm

In these years some researchers claimed that they can break encryption with 372 qubit quantum computers. https://interestingengineering.com/innova= tion/china-quantum-code-breaking-algorithm-catastrophic

A 160 bit elliptic curve cryptographic key could be broken on a quantum computer using around 1000 qubits while factoring the security-wise equivalent 1024 bit RSA modulus would require about 2000 qubits https://arxiv.org= /pdf/quant-ph/0301141v2.pdf

According to Microsoft experts, 2330 qubits and 1.26*10 11 (~2 36 ) operations are required for the restoration ofan ECDSA 256-bits private key=20 https://eprint.iacr.org/2= 017/598.pdf=20

Portable quantum computers are available for educational purposes

Even so experts disagree on ability of 372 qubit quantum computers to break encryption, they all agree that more powerful quantum computers can do it. This means that all technologies based on the current cryptographic algorithms will be useless, including passwords in encrypted files, crypto currencies, etc.

Is your business ready for the era of quantum computers?

Dynamical passwords are not stored in any place, they do not depend on encryption algorithms, therefore they are ready for the era of quantum computers. In addition to better security they offer simplification of passwords management and changes of multiple passwords for multiple accounts.

"There is a very real possibility that quantum supremacy and the quantum crypto break have already happened within a private entity and the rest of the public world simply does not know about it. It is generally believed that if a major country=E2=80=99s government was able to obtain quantum supremacy and, in particular, perform the quantum crypto break first, they would have every incentive to keep the accomplishments silent."
