Abstract

The advantages of post-quantum cryptography over classical cryptography are covered in this survey. We address several post-quantum cryptography techniques. We conclude that the deployment of quantum-safe cryptographic systems is anticipated to be the future of secure communication, and that the development of post-quantum cryptography is essential to guarantee the security of sensitive information in the post quantum era.

An Overview of Quantum-Safe Approaches: Quantum Key Distribution and Post-Quantum Cryptography

Guobin Xu, Jianzhou Mao, Eric Sakk +1 more

Common cryptographic algorithms may no longer be considered secure under future quantum computers, which will cause a serious threat to network security. Hence, investigating quantum-safe cryptography and evaluating the safety of traditional cryptographic algorithms are essential and have become urgent demands. In this paper, we study the quantum-safe cryptography approaches and conduct a survey of the various quantum key distribution protocols, simulation tools, and commercial applications. In addition, we provide a comparison of the first four post-quantum cryptographic algorithms recently announced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The challenges of quantum-safe approaches will be discussed, which aim to find future research directions in quantum cryptography.

Quantum Cryptography and Post-Quantum Security: Safeguarding Cryptographic Protocols Against Quantum Threats

Muhammad Hamza Ishaq, Bushra Al-Anesi

As quantum computing progresses towards practical realization, the security of existing cryptographic protocols, such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), faces unprecedented risks. Quantum algorithms like Shor's Algorithm threaten to undermine the security of these widely used encryption schemes, necessitating the development of quantum-resistant alternatives. This paper explores the vulnerabilities of current cryptographic protocols in the quantum era and investigates quantum-safe cryptographic techniques such as lattice-based, hash-based, and code-based cryptography. Additionally, we delve into Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), a method that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to securely distribute cryptographic keys, ensuring secure communication even in the presence of quantum adversaries. The integration of QKD with post-quantum cryptographic algorithms is proposed as a robust approach to future-proofing cybersecurity. The paper concludes with a discussion of practical challenges in implementing quantum-safe systems and highlights future research directions to strengthen cryptographic resilience against quantum threats.

Quantum Cryptography: Secure Communication Beyond Classical Limits

Rohit Goyal

Quantum cryptography promises secure communication protocols that surpass the limitations of classical cryptography. By leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, particularly the phenomenon of quantum entanglement and the uncertainty principle, quantum cryptography protocols offer provable security guarantees against eavesdropping attacks. In this paper, we provide an overview of quantum cryptography, discussing its theoretical foundations, key protocols such as quantum key distribution (QKD), and experimental implementations. We highlight the advantages of quantum cryptography over classical cryptographic techniques and explore its potential applications in secure communication networks, financial transactions, and data privacy. Furthermore, we discuss ongoing research efforts and challenges in the practical deployment of quantum cryptography systems, including the development of robust quantum hardware and the integration of quantum cryptographic protocols into existing communication infrastructures. Overall, quantum cryptography holds great promise for enabling secure communication channels that are resilient to quantum attacks, paving the way for a new era of ultra-secure information exchange.

The Role of Quantum and Post-Quantum Techniques in Wireless Network Security - Status, Challenges and Future Trends

Sattar B. Sadkhan, Rana Abbas

One of the most essential ways of communication is the wireless network. As a result, ensuring the security of information transmitted across wireless networks is a critical concern. For wireless networks, classical cryptography provides conditional security with several loopholes, but quantum cryptography claims to be unconditionally safe. People began to consider beyond classical cryptosystems for protecting future electronic communication when quantum computers became functional. With all of these flaws in classical cryptosystems in mind, people began to consider beyond it for protecting future electronic communication. Quantum cryptography addresses practically all flaws in traditional cryptography.
