Israeli Cybersecurity Expert: Quantum Computing Will Wipe Out Today's Encryption
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Maj.-Gen. (res.) Prof. Isaac Ben-Israel, among the founders of Israel's modern cybersecurity apparatus, told the Jerusalem Post: "No matter what password you use, in a fraction of a second I will break it," describing what a mature quantum computer will do to the protections that banks, governments, and militaries rely on. For quantum computers, a calculation which would take a conventional machine a year could be finished almost instantly. Both cyber and AI were used heavily in the war against Iran, Ben-Israel said. Iran is vast, and a ballistic missile launcher can fire from anywhere. Combing satellite imagery meter by meter would take thousands of analysts thousands of years. An AI model trained to recognize launchers does it in a fraction of a second. The five-minute alerts Israelis received before the sirens would not have been possible without it.
