Why Post-Quantum Cryptography Starts With Credentials

Current public-key cryptography methods, such as elliptic curve cryptography and RSA, will eventually be compromised by advancements in quantum computing. This poses a threat to the confidentiality of encrypted data, including credentials. Quantum computers are rapidly advancing and will likely alter how organizations approach data protection. Credentials and other encrypted data captured now may be vulnerable to decryption in the future. The impending threat of quantum computers breaking current encryption methods necessitates a new approach to cryptography.
