The threat is not that a current quantum computer will break all internet encryption tomorrow. That is not happening. But data encrypted today can be captured and stored in an attempt to decrypt it in the future. The logic is uncomfortable: if a conversation, a formula, a medical record, or a corporate key must remain secret ten or fifteen years from now, the risk does not begin when a powerful quantum machine appears. It begins when someone decides to store that material now. That is why the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, published its first finalized post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024. They are algorithms designed to withstand attacks from future quantum computers. And that does look like a much more concrete IT priority than buying quantum computing time.
