Change Makers: Securing your data in a world of quantum computers
The world is racing to develop full scale quantum computers that promise to bring huge leaps in science and medicine. But the technology also means that swathes of previously encrypted data could be unlocked, from your personal health data to national secrets. And so there is another global security race happening at the same time, one to develop a way to outsmart the quantum computer and protect some of your most sensitive data. Sally Sara speaks with the woman at the fore of this race in Australia, Professor Elanor Huntington. Guest: Professor Elanor Huntington, executive director at national science agency, CSIRO.
