NSA building new quantum computer to break all encryption - Video
The US National Security Agency is planning to build a "cryptologically useful quantum computer" in order to break almost all encryption worldwide. ● The latest documents revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden said the quantum computer will be “exponentially faster than other classical computers,” The Washington Post said in a Thursday report. "The application of quantum technologies to encryption algorithms threatens to dramatically impact the US government's ability to both protect its communications and eavesdrop on the communications of foreign governments," an internal NSA document said. The new computer would be able to crack nearly every kind of encryption used to protect banking, medical, business, and government records around the world. The project is part of a $79.7 million dollar research program titled, “Penetrating Hard Targets.”
