Making existing software quantum safe: a case study on IBM Db2. (arXiv:2110.08661v2 [cs.SE] UPDATED)
cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
The software engineering community is facing challenges from quantum
computers (QCs). In the era of quantum computing, Shor's algorithm running on
QCs can break asymmetric encryption algorithms that classical computers
practically cannot. Though the exact date when QCs will become "dangerous" for
practical problems is unknown, the consensus is that this future is near. Thus,
the software engineering community needs to start making software ready for
quantum attacks and ensure quantum safety proactively.
We argue that the problem of evolving …
