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.
