President Trump awarded the National Medal of Science to Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Sergey Brin, and Lisa Su, the nation's top science prize, on Thursday.

Matthew Green, a cryptography expert, expressed concerns that public key cryptography may be compromised due to the increasing computational power of quantum computers. He believes that a quantum computer with 2^32 RSA-2048 operations per second could break RSA-2048 encryption, which is commonly used for secure online transactions. Green also stated that the development of quantum-resistant cryptography is crucial to ensure the security of online transactions and communication in the future.
