There has been a lot of speculation that with the development of Quantum computers, cryptography will become obsolete. Mark Kim, contributor at Quanta Magazine, thinks not. Quantum computers are capable of calculations that are far beyond standard computers, and they would be able to factor a large number much more quickly. This puts standard encryption algorithms at risk. Since Google recently claimed that it quantum computers will be outperform any standard computer by the end of this year, cryptographers are concerned. Who will develop the quantum-proof security standard?
According to a paper on the Cryptology ePrint Archive, as fast the quantum computers might be, the RSA algorithm used in current encryption is faster.
