A Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC) can threaten most of the traditional public-key cryptography currently in use. If and when a CRQC occurs, this may obviously turn into a major issue for society.

In 1994, Peter Shor published a paper in which he explained how to solve the computation of discrete logarithm and the factorization of large numbers in a computationally feasible way by using a quantum computer.

Last week we celebrated the Kick-Off-Meeting of the QUBIP project. QUBIP addresses the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) of protocols, networks, and systems to counter quantum threats well in advance.
