Technology veteran IBM on June 10 laid out a plan to have a “practical” quantum computer tackling big problems before the end of this decade. Current quantum computers are still experimental and face significant challenges, including high error rates. Companies like IBM, Google, and others are working to build more stable and scalable quantum systems. (Photo by ANGELA WEISS / AFP)

Cryptography experts said a “Cambrian explosion” of standards is on its way as a response to worries over quantum computers breaking current algorithms.
While the last-minute extension averts an immediate lapse in support, rival organizations are being stood up to supplant the global vulnerability system.
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System has a lot of critics, but experts say it’s still the best unified way to share the severity of cybersecurity flaws.
