The race is on for quantum-safe cryptography

Seems a development worth tracking given the prevalence of existing protocols such as TLS - that rely on cryptographic techniques classical computers have difficulty solving.

Relevant snippet: "As a security researcher, Chen is particularly interested in quantum computing’s ability to solve two types of math problems: factoring large numbers and solving discrete logarithms (essentially solving the problem bx = a for x). Pretty much all internet security relies on this math to encrypt information or authenticate users in protocols such as Transport Layer Security."
