Taking a Quantum Leap in Cyber-Deterrence

There has been much speculation in Defense and Homeland Security circles about what a so called cyber-9/11 would look like. Decisions made by United States today could prevent or invite such a scenario in the next 25 years. Cyberspace research and development will significantly impact the increasingly interconnected environment that will describe the world in 2035 creating opportunities and danger. Opportunities lead to cyber omniscience while dangers warn of less privacy, compromised sensitive data, and more vulnerable networks. Quantum computing will be the key to this future.
