Definition ∞ Quantum Safe Algorithms are cryptographic algorithms designed to resist attacks from quantum computers. These algorithms rely on mathematical problems that are believed to be hard for both classical and quantum computers to solve. They aim to secure digital communications and data against future quantum threats. Developing and standardizing these algorithms is a global research priority.
Context ∞ The development and deployment of Quantum Safe Algorithms are central to the long-term security of digital assets, blockchain networks, and all sensitive digital information. News frequently covers the progress of NIST’s post-quantum cryptography standardization process and the adoption of selected algorithms. The transition to these new cryptographic primitives is a critical step in safeguarding against a quantum computing future.
