What effect will quantum computing have on cryptography?

[mgburks77]

I do not possess the technical knowledge to have much of an opinion on this subject but I know a lot of forum members probably have some interesting ideas regarding the development of quantum computing and what effect it will have on cryptography.

Will it render cryptography as we know it obsolete?

I think that it will make the search function on here nearly instantaneous.

    

All kidding aside there have been a ton of discussion on here dealing with this. :-)

lol sorry.

I'm new and there is a lot of interesting material on this board. I must have missed it.

No problem, it was just funny.  ;-)

Thanks!

BTW

Is there like a really dumbed down primer on cryptography available? Something for people with very little higher math skill but would like to learn more?

Parts of it may be difficult depending on your background, but the first page has a nice, simple example.
