CAS-005 · Question #50
Which of the following is the main reason quantum computing advancements are leading companies and countries to deploy new encryption algorithms?
The correct answer is A. Encryption systems based on large prime numbers will be vulnerable to exploitation. Quantum computing threatens traditional encryption methods, especially those based on large prime number factorization (e.g., RSA), because quantum algorithms like Shor's algorithm can break them efficiently. This drives the need for post-quantum cryptography.
