The new technology, homomorphic encryption, can resist quantum computing-based attacks, which are capable of tearing through many classical encryption protocols and are being tested by foreign powers, posing considerable national security risks.“[It’s] general knowledge that the major tech nation-states have been experimenting with quantum computing technologies. It's been slowly evolving over the years,” Kurt Rolhoff, co-founder and CTO of Duality Technologies, told the Washington Examiner.
“The benefit of these ... cryptography techniques is there’s not just one number, but there's many, many, many numbers that go into the actual key — the thing that has to be mathematically solved,” Rolhoff said. “Think about something that's initially hard, but relatively straightforward, to something that's hard, but also much, much larger in dimension.”
This is especially true for instances when officials need to run analyses on large sets of information, where it is best to avoid constantly sharing all of the raw content, Rolhoff said.
Probably should focus on keeping classified paper docs out of personal garages first. Just a thought.
Would this protect us from the Joe Bidens of the world?
Per Qevin bin McCarthy, this is wasteful investment in 'wokeism'!
