BlackBerry races ahead of security curve with quantum-resistant solution

BlackBerry races ahead of security curve with quantum-resistant solution

Quantum computing represents tremendous promise to completely alter technology as we've known it, allowing operations that weren't previously possible with traditional computing. Today, BlackBerry announced a new quantum-resistant code signing service to help battle that possibility. Perhaps that's why BlackBerry hedged its bets in the announcement saying, "The new solution will allow software to be digitally signed using a scheme that will be hard to break with a quantum computer." Until we have fully functioning quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption, we probably won't know for sure if this works.
