Owl Sector's secure communications network may someday face a new kind of threat: powerful quantum computers. Your mission is to help upgrade the network before that happens.
Encryption protects websites, banking, messages, passwords, and many other parts of the Internet.
Scientists believe that future quantum computers could eventually break some of today's encryption methods. Researchers are preparing new protections called Post-Quantum Cryptography.
Protects information today.
Cybersecurity experts continue studying how future quantum computers might affect some current methods.
Designed to resist attacks from future quantum computers.
Researchers are preparing now so our information stays secure in the future.
Which of these should be protected by encryption?
Hint: More than one answer matters.
What protects information on the Internet?
What kind of cryptography is designed to resist future quantum attacks?
True or False: Scientists are developing new encryption methods before quantum computers become a widespread threat.
Why is Post-Quantum Cryptography important?
Once you understand the mission, upgrade Owl Sector's network.
You helped secure Owl Sector's network for the future.
✓ You learned why encryption matters.
✓ You discovered Post-Quantum Cryptography.
