Experts are divided on the first algorithm to protect data from quantum computers

It is noted that tools such as endpoint encryption, in which messages are encrypted and can only be decrypted using a secret code on the user’s device, help protect user data. Hackers can try to break them, but that requires supercomputers with enormous computing power. That said, quantum computers in the future may well be capable of doing this.

Now scientists claim they have created the most efficient quantum-secure encryption proposal to date, which they have dubbed “LaV”. The researchers claim that their method, based on a verifiable random function, can secure data against the large quantum computers of the future as well as today’s supercomputers.
