Google’s plan to keep your Web browsing safe from the cyberattacks of tomorrow

There's a huge threat looming over the way people's data are protected right now — and Google is testing out a way to guard against it. The threat is a still-experimental technology called quantum computing, and Google announced that it was taking the first step toward protecting user's browsing data against it. The search giant is testing out a Web encryption method called "New Hope," which is designed to help fend off potential quantum attacks for a small number of Chrome browser users when they connect to Google's servers.
