🌐 “Harvest now, decrypt later.”
It’s not sci-fi.
Governments and attackers are already collecting your encrypted data—waiting for quantum computers to break it.
Let’s talk about what this means, and how NuLink is getting ahead of it.

🕵️♂️ The threat:
Quantum computers, once mature, will break RSA, ECC, and most current encryption—instantly.
That means any encrypted messages, transactions, or identities stored today could be exposed tomorrow.

⚠️ Why this is dangerous:
Bad actors are already saving sensitive data (messages, healthcare files, blockchain records), assuming they can decrypt it in 5–10 years.
This is called:
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later.
And it’s happening now.

🔐 Enter Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC):
Algorithms like CRYSTALS-Kyber, Dilithium, and HQC are designed to resist quantum attacks.
They’re not theoretical—they’re being standardized by NIST and implemented in security systems today.
