Abstract

Despite large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers not yet being a reality, their eventual advent poses a menace for current cybersecurity systems. Post-quantum cryptography examines cryptographic solutions in an era where largescale quantum computers will be available to organisms that may have an interest in breaking our current cybersecurity systems. Quantum cryptography aims to use quantum technologies to create new cryptographic solutions. In this systematic mapping, we study the current state of the art of quantum and postquantum cryptography through a systematic search in chosen databases, and the impact this post-quantum paradigm will have on present cybersecurity.

Post-Quantum Cryptography: A Systematic Review of NextGeneration Cybersecurity Algorithms

D. R. Kirubaharan

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is an emerging field that aims to develop cryptographic algorithms resistant to attacks by quantum computers. As quantum computing technology advances, traditional cryptographic methods such as RSA and ECC are becoming increasingly vulnerable. This systematic review provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of PQC, focusing on the most promising algorithms and their potential applications. The review covers lattice-based, code-based, multivariate, and hash-based cryptographic schemes, evaluating their security, efficiency, and practicality. We also discuss the challenges and future directions in PQC, including standardization efforts and integration into existing cryptographic systems. This paper aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in the next generation of cybersecurity algorithms

Cyber security in the Era of Quantum Computing: Assessing Risks and Developing Future-proof Solutions

Dilip Kumar

The emergence of quantum computing is set to reshape the landscape of cybersecurity, presenting a blend of significant challenges and groundbreaking opportunities. This paper delves into the growing risks tied to quantum technologies, with a particular focus on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and the threats posed by the possible obsolescence of traditional cryptographic methods. As quantum computing capabilities advance at a rapid pace, the need for the development of quantum-resistant security protocols has become more urgent than ever. This research investigates the vulnerabilities of current cryptographic systems, the potential dangers posed by quantum computing, and the solutions already available in the field of post-quantum cryptography. Furthermore, the paper outlines a comprehensive framework for cybersecurity solutions that are resilient to future quantum threats, emphasizing the importance of collaboration across academic, industrial, and governmental sectors. By reviewing current literature and technological developments, this paper provides a roadmap for transitioning to quantum-safe security practices, addressing the risks brought on by quantum advancements, and ensuring that critical infrastructure is well-defended against quantum-driven attacks. The findings indicate that while quantum computing introduces profound risks to traditional cybersecurity systems, a proactive, strategic adoption of PQC solutions can effectively protect vital infrastructure in the post-quantum age.

Post-Quantum Cryptography

Steven D. Galbraith⋆

Abstract Large-scale and error-tolerant quantum computers will break the currently used tools for enabling confidentiality and integrity on the internet and elsewhere. It has been recognized for the last 10 years that there is an urgent need to develop cryptosystems that can withstand an attacker in the future with a quantum computer. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC), also sometimes known as quantum-resistant cryptography or quantum safe cryptography, means cryptographic algorithms that can run on today’s computers and networks and yet be secure against attackers in the future who have large-scale and error-tolerant quantum computers. This chapter will argue that post-quantum cryptography is more practical and trusted for most real-world systems than quantum key distribution (QKD). The purpose of this chapter is to put cryptography into the broader context of cybersecurity, to briefly explain the threats and risks associated with quantum computing, and to give a nontechnical overview of the post-quantum cryptosystems that are available now.
