Cryptographer Matthew Green warns public key cryptography could be lost

Original: Matthew Green: "I think we might lose public key cryptography"

Cryptographer Matthew Green, a professor at Johns Hopkins, warned that public key cryptography — the foundation of most internet security — could be lost. His remark has drawn attention among security researchers, with discussion centring on threats such as quantum computing advances that could break widely used encryption like RSA and elliptic curve cryptography, forcing a difficult transition to post-quantum alternatives.

Why now: Growing concern over quantum computing's potential to break the encryption protecting the internet.
