Post-Quantum Cryptography

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is a branch of cryptography focused on developing cryptographic algorithms that are secure against attacks by quantum computers. It aims to replace current public-key cryptosystems, such as RSA and ECC, which are vulnerable to quantum algorithms like Shor's algorithm. PQC includes lattice-based, code-based, hash-based, and multivariate polynomial schemes designed to withstand quantum computing threats.

Also known as: PQC, Quantum-Safe Cryptography, Quantum-Resistant Cryptography, Post-Quantum Security, Quantum-Proof Cryptography
🧊Why learn Post-Quantum Cryptography?

Developers should learn PQC to prepare for the future when quantum computers could break widely used encryption, ensuring data security in sectors like finance, healthcare, and government. It is essential for implementing quantum-resistant protocols in applications handling sensitive or long-term confidential data, such as secure communications, digital signatures, and blockchain systems.
