The Quantum Apocalypse is coming. The advent of quantum computers has raised real questions about the future of data privacy over the internet.  Someday, advances in quantum computing will make it possible to decrypt sensitive data that was encrypted using today’s complex cryptography systems.

In the latest episode of the Meta Tech Podcast you’ll meet Sheran and Rafael, two engineers leading Meta’s post-quantum readiness work. They sit down with Pascal Hartig (@passy) to discuss the threat of quantum computing and how Meta is working to keep today’s users safe from the quantum attacks of tomorrow.

And for more on post-quantum readiness at Meta be sure to read their blog, Post-quantum readiness for TLS at Meta.
