[00:00:00]To understand the real threat, you need to know one name, Shor's algorithm.

[00:00:04]Peter Shor published it in 1994, and what it does is factor large numbers exponentially faster than any classical or regular computer, the kind we use today. That matters because most of the encryption securing the internet today is built on a simple assumption.

[00:00:19]Factoring a large number into its prime components takes so long, it's practically impossible. Shor's algorithm, however, makes that assumption wrong.
