This article explores the growing concern over sophisticated attacks on RF systems, particularly in military operations. It acknowledges the challenges faced by RF systems in avoiding observation, interception, and jamming. The article also highlights the potential impact of quantum computing and hybrid quantum plus AI capabilities on encryption methods, which could compromise RF communications. It concludes by mentioning ongoing research and development of new encryption methods to resist quantum computing attacks. The article emphasizes the need for quantum-based encryption to protect data against future quantum computers and the advancements in mathematical approaches by companies like Quantropi. It also mentions the potential disruption that quantum and AI could have on the global digital economy and stresses the importance of addressing the quantum threat while considering resource constraints in military environments. Lastly, the article mentions the use of post-quantum symmetric encryption in tactical radios to enhance security. [Extracted from the article]
