Like it or not, we face a severe risk to our digital world on the advent of quantum computers, as these will be able to crack most of our public key methods. Almost in an instance, the RSA modulus (N) will be factorized into its prime number parts (p and q), and all the messages encrypted with it or signed by it, will be cracked. With ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography), the private keys…
