The evolution: Why should banks get involved in lifestyle, utilities, coupons,
voice command, tickets? Of course banks should have been involved in this.
They know more about their customer but never bother to collect the data.

Quantum Computing digital equivalent of splitting the atom? US,
PRC spending BILLIONS. QC will crack any code in 1 day. 1st mover?
Quantum Future
• Quantum Computer can break 1024 – bit RSA Encryption in 1 day
• Emerging “Quantum Encoding” market now. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
• Cybersecurity firm ID Quantique (Korea), startup using QKD to protect data ($65 mn by SK Telecom)
• Cybersecurity marketspace expected to be worth $25 billion in 2025
Example
• RSA Encryption is gold-standard
• Uses two large prime numbers and their product as key
• 1024-bit RSA Encryption: fastest computer would take 8 ∗ 1030
years to crack.
Current
Security protocols are
measured by the time it
takes to “break in”
