Strong symmetric ciphers, algorithms that use the same key for encryption and decryption (AES, Blowfish, etc.) will also be easier to crack with quantum computers, but only by roughly a factor of two.

One way that organizations can protect data is through encryption, which applies algorithms to scramble data so that it’s readable only by someone who holds the key to decrypt it. Given enough ...

These post-quantum encryption algorithms take a symmetric approach to cryptography as opposed to the commonly used asymmetric algorithms that form the basis of much of today’s public-key ...
