Post-Quantum Security

Definition

Post-Quantum Security refers to cryptographic algorithms and systems designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. As quantum computing capabilities advance, current encryption methods, which rely on the computational difficulty of factoring large numbers or solving discrete logarithm problems, become vulnerable. Post-quantum cryptography aims to develop new mathematical problems that are intractable even for quantum algorithms, ensuring the long-term security of digital communications and assets.
