Lattice-Based Cryptography

Definition

Lattice-based cryptography is a field of study in computer science and mathematics that utilizes mathematical structures known as lattices for cryptographic operations. These systems are considered resistant to attacks from both classical and quantum computers, making them a promising candidate for post-quantum cryptography. The security of these schemes relies on the computational difficulty of solving certain lattice problems. This area is fundamental to securing future digital communications.
