Quantifying quantum risk: a measure of crypto agility (opens in new tab)

Because of their ability to enable new forms of cryptanalysis, quantum computers pose a threat to the cryptographic algorithms that are widely used to secure contemporary computer systems. A practical quantum computer may emerge within the next ten years or so, but due to theorised "harvest now, decrypt later" style attacker behaviour, mitigations are necessary today. Recent advances in cryptography and security architecture show promise in supp...
