What do we do when quantum computers can crack the encryption schemes that we are using now? The solution is post-quantum cryptography , a new discipline to safeguard our data in an age of quantum computers. With cyber attacks growing sophisticated with each passing day, there is a growing need to deploy post-quantum cryptography. This article discusses the importance, procedure, and future of post-quantum cryptography, the reason why it has become the backbone of secure digital communication and infrastructure around the world. Understanding the Need for Post-Quantum Cryptography Over the last two decades, traditional encryption algorithms such as RSA and ECC have ensured secure digital communications. They depend on the computational difficulty of the said problems, e.g., discrete logarithms and integer factorization, naturally broken-proofed by the conventional computers. However, what is to be hitherto turned upside down is the fast quantum computing . Quantum computers, and...
