    The US government is slot overseeing the design and testing of new post-quantum cryptography technology.

    A US government agency on Tuesday named four technologies it expects will keep computer data secret when quantum computers are mature enough to crack today's encryption tech.

    Scientists have showen that quantum computers can break mainstream encryption technology if today's progress in quantum computers is sustained long enough. The National

    Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has overseen a hunt to design and test post-quantum cryptography tech to protect that data.Of the four technologies that the national institute picked, two are expected to be more widely used.
