Market Chatter: China Seen to Develop Standards for Post-Quantum Cryptography

MT Newswires Live03-19

The Chinese government is expected to impose national standards for post-quantum cryptography in the next three years as it invests in research, Reuters reported Thursday, citing an expert.

The program is part of the country's five-year plan that highlighted quantum technology and the goal of developing a scalable quantum computer, the report said.

China's plan will elevate quantum cryptography alongside embodied AI, nuclear fusion, and brain-computer interfaces, Reuters said.

Governments worldwide are scrambling to develop post-quantum cryptography algorithms that could guard against future quantum machines, seen to become so powerful that current encryption methods would become obsolete, the report said.
