Quantum Resistant Cryptography

Definition

Quantum resistant cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to remain secure against attacks from future quantum computers. Current public-key cryptographic systems, widely used in digital assets and secure communications, are vulnerable to certain algorithms that quantum computers could efficiently execute. Developing quantum-resistant alternatives is a proactive measure to safeguard digital asset security and data privacy in a post-quantum computing era. This field focuses on creating new mathematical foundations for encryption that are not susceptible to quantum computational advantages.
