Quantum-Safe Cryptography for the Next Era
Quantum-Safe Cryptography for the Next Era Quantum computers could break widely used public-key systems such as RSA and ECDSA. Even if very large machines are not ready today, data that must stay secret for many years—health records, contracts, or legal documents—needs protection now. This reality has pushed organizations to plan for quantum-safe cryptography, often called post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Quantum-safe means algorithms believed to resist quantum attacks. Most candidates are not proven invincible, but they rely on hard math problems that quantum computers struggle to solve. The goal is to make future decryption unlikely while keeping performance reasonable today. ...
