Introduction

In this article, I’ll be comparing the encryption standards we consider safe with the actual technology and what could make them not be safe anymore during the following years. I will also try to analyze how we can prepare for the future at different scales in our industry, software development.

First of all, I want to expose the two main types of encryption that the majority of software we use relies on. This is mostly based on what the USA’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) states, as of today, in 2022.

Symmetric Encryption

On one side we have symmetric encryption, which uses a single private key (or secret) to encrypt and decrypt data. The secret needs to be shared among the parties that need to communicate securely, this is in fact a security risk and its weakness. Together with other
