We are on the cusp of the next quantum revolution, where advances in our understanding of quantum mechanics paves the way for new technologies that promise an era of scientific breakthroughs. However, these same technologies could potentially lead to upheaval in the way that we deploy secure communications across the internet. As a result of which we need to think of appropriate mitigation and build in the necessary transition time to afford everyone a post quantum secure future. We will examine both the opportunity as well as the threats in this arena and suggest pragmatic ways forward.
