 Hey! I have something interesting to share with you guys. As technology is everywhere  and you hardly think of anything which is not connected to internet, every digital gadget is connected to internet. Our personal data is also on the stake, why?  let me tell you some interesting info.


 Currently, we use two types of cryptography 


Symmetric key cryptography 


Asymmetric key algorithm


 And, I think there is no need to go into the technical details because , you can search it online if you are interested in learning just let me know in the comment and I will drop the link. But, here my concern is about security.

                                                         

Here is the thing, in today’s world our data is secure due to the cryptography that is nearly impossible to crack for someone who is using normal computer and the problem is, if somebody succeed in making the Quantum computer then It going to be very hard to keep our data secure because Quantum computer can decrypt any message very easily. So, you would have probably guessed out what I am trying to say. Computer that we are using at this time manipulate data in the form of Zeros and Ones (0,1). But a quantum computer is so much sophisticated that it can be either 0 or 1 and all points in between.

 I really do not know how the hell it will do that but it is very intimidating for me. And that time is not too much far.  It will be here in the next 10 years.  I just wanted to share this with you guys so that we can start conversation about it because there are so many intelligent people available that can share something good about it. Thanks! Keep steemming and give your opinion about it. I have a lot more to say but I think it is just fine to start. 😊
