Shor's Algorithm and the Push for Post-Quantum Cryptography

Original: # ITByte : Shor's # Algorithm is a # Quantum algorithm for finding the prime factors of an integer. It was developed in

Shor's algorithm, developed in 1994 by American mathematician Peter Shor, is a quantum algorithm for finding the prime factors of an integer. Its theoretical power threatens widely used encryption, and that is credited with prompting a global shift toward post-quantum cryptography, as researchers and governments prepare security systems resistant to future quantum computers.

Why now: Ongoing global efforts to adopt post-quantum cryptography keep the quantum threat to encryption in the news.
