What are the security implications of a large, coherent, fault-tolerant quantum computer? Breaking RSA would take trillions of years with a classical computer. Shor’s Algorithm can do it in 100 seconds. This session will discuss the current status of quantum computers and the roadmap to 10 million qubits, Shor’s algorithm, risks to current encryption standards, and post-quantum and quantum cryptography. 

RSA® Conference, the world’s leading information security conferences and expositions, concluded its 30th annual event, which took place as a fully virtual experience this week. This year’s theme was Resilience, and in honor of all that the cybersecurity industry has accomplished over the past three decades, offered a must-attend celebration of thought leadership and education.


More than 20,000 people registered to view 449 sessions including, keynotes, track sessions, interactive programs, tutorials, seminars, and many special digital-first programs that focused on best practices and innovation. The content covered many of the industry’s most pressing topics, including privacy, machine learning and artificial intelligence, analytics, anti-fraud, policy and government, and risk management and governance.
