In 1994, American mathematician Peter Shor devised an algorithm for quantum computers that can effectively factor large integers. The development of quantum computers is currently proceeding at a rapid pace, and once a sufficiently powerful quantum computer is built, Shor's algorithm could be used to break contemporary public-key cryptography schemes, which are essential for the secure operation of the internet, among other things.
