The National Security Agency (NSA) is starting a project, under the research program, to build a computer system that will be able to break almost each and every kind of encryption and securities to protect medical, business, banking and government records around the world.
The United States NSA is reportedly racing forward to create a machine considerably faster than classic computers, The Washington Post reported on Thursday. According to the document report provided by NSA whistle blower Mr. Edward Snowden, a research program named ‘Penetrating Hard Targets’ also includes a project in which manufacturing of a cryptologically useful quantum computer is included.

The expectations and implications of the machine manufacturing are very difficult to guess. Strong encryption tools which are used today may be included to crack any type of machine with that quantum computer. Probably, highly secured RSA standards are expected to be included in this machine which can decrypt any system at any time when required. RSA Algorithm is commonly used in web browsers security for emails and financial transactions.
Many scientific communities have been trying to develop such a machine which has revolutionary implications for fields like medicine as well as government records. The National Security Agency of US reportedly sees itself as in a race with Swiss and European Union sponsored quantum computing labs.
