Do We Need Quantum — Leaps In Security?

: Unlike PQC, QKD requires specialized fiber-optic hardware and "trusted nodes," making it expensive and difficult to scale for the general internet. 3. The Human and Process Leap

: Based on the Observer Effect , any attempt to eavesdrop on a quantum signal changes its state, immediately alerting the senders. Do We Need Quantum Leaps in Security?

The current security infrastructure relies on mathematical problems (like RSA and ECC) that are easy for classical computers to solve but would be trivial for a sufficiently powerful quantum computer using . This creates a "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threat, where adversaries steal encrypted data today to unlock it once quantum technology matures. 1. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) : Unlike PQC, QKD requires specialized fiber-optic hardware

: Uses error-correcting codes to create security. : Unlike PQC
