Future Cryptography

Definition

Future cryptography refers to the advanced and evolving cryptographic methods designed to address emerging security threats and computational capabilities, particularly those posed by quantum computing. This area of study investigates new mathematical algorithms and protocols intended to secure digital communications and data against future cryptanalytic attacks. It encompasses post-quantum cryptography, homomorphic encryption, and new forms of zero-knowledge proofs. The goal is to maintain data confidentiality and integrity in an increasingly complex digital environment.
