Post-Quantum Cryptography Basis

Definition

Post-quantum cryptography basis refers to the fundamental mathematical and algorithmic principles that underpin cryptographic systems designed to resist attacks from future quantum computers. Current public-key cryptography relies on computational problems that quantum computers could efficiently solve, necessitating the development of new, quantum-resistant schemes. This involves exploring alternative mathematical problems, such as lattice-based, code-based, or hash-based cryptography. The objective is to secure digital communications and assets against an anticipated quantum threat.
