Post-quantum cryptography (PQC)
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is the development and study of cryptographic algorithms designed to remain secure against the computational power of quantum computers. Classical cryptographic systems like RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) rely on problems like integer factorization and discrete logarithms, which can be efficiently solved by quantum algorithms such as Shor’s algorithm. This could…
