Prof. Maj.-Gen. (res.) Isaac Ben-Israel, a leading figure in Israel's cybersecurity development, warns that current encryption methods will soon become obsolete due to advancements in quantum computing. In an interview with the Jerusalem Post Podcast, he explains that quantum computers can break virtually any password in seconds by leveraging quantum mechanics principles, such as superposition and entanglement. While traditional encryption relies on complex mathematical problems that take conventional computers years to solve, quantum computers can perform these calculations almost instantaneously. Ben-Israel distinguishes between quantum computing and quantum communication, noting that the latter uses quantum entanglement to transmit information securely without interception. Although post-quantum cryptographic algorithms are being developed, they remain too slow for widespread adoption. Meanwhile, China has already deployed a satellite capable of quantum communication, while Israeli researchers are working on similar technology.
Bias read (Center): While the article discusses advanced technological developments with potential national security implications, it presents the information in a balanced manner without overtly favoring any political ideology. The focus is on technical explanations and expert opinions rather than advocacy for a left-
