Abstract

You might have heard that the advent of Quantum Computers heralds the end of commonly used cryptography, but what does that mean, and why does it concern you? In this talk, I will help answer some of these questions. You will learn what a Quantum Computer is, why they are such a bad thing for cryptography, and what you should do about it.
