FUD or Fact: Quantum Computing and Cryptography Analysis
Separating quantum computing hype from reality.
Evidence-based analysis of post-quantum attacks, cryptographic threats, and quantum-resistant solutions.
Latest Verdicts
Our most recent FUD or Fact analyses
RSA and ECC are vulnerable to quantum attacks
Shor's algorithm can efficiently factor large integers and solve discrete logarithms, breaking RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. This is mathematically proven.
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later is a real threat
FACTNation-state actors are collecting encrypted data today to decrypt once quantum computers are available. Organizations with long-term secrets should migrate to post-quantum cryptography now.
Quantum computers will break all encryption by 2030
FUDWhile quantum computing poses real threats to some cryptographic systems, claims of imminent total cryptographic collapse are overblown. Post-quantum cryptography standards are already being deployed.
Bitcoin will collapse when quantum computers arrive
MIXEDWhile Bitcoin's ECDSA signatures are theoretically vulnerable, the threat timeline is uncertain and migration paths exist. Panic is unwarranted, but preparation is prudent.
