In this paper, we discuss the challenges of quantum computing to traditional cryptography and the latest development of post-quantum cryptography as a coping strategy. As quantum computing advances, cryptographic algorithms that rely on the complexity of classical computers, such as RSA and ECC, are at risk of failing, which has prompted the cryptography community to seek new encryption solutions. Post-quantum cryptography focuses on encryption technology and develops resistance to quantum computing attacks. It studies encryption schemes based on lattice theory, multivariate polynomials, coding theory, and hash functions. In addition, lattice-based cryptography is critical. It builds multiple algorithms, including RLWE and NTRU, focusing on LWE and SIS issues, demonstrating strong potential in a quantum computing environment. In terms of signature algorithms, Dilithium and Falcon lattice-based schemes are the focus of standardization. In the simulation analysis of these algorithms, we evaluated their security, efficiency, and compatibility, laying the theoretical and practical foundation for the cryptosystem transformation in the post-quantum era.

The emergence of quantum computing poses a serious threat to traditional communication systems, endangering the security of digital communications and critical infrastructure. Although existing cryptographic algorithms (such as RSA and ECC) rely on the inefficiency of computing large numbers or solving logarithm inequality problems, quantum algorithms (especially Shor's algorithm) can solve these problems efficiently. To mitigate this threat, the field of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has emerged and focuses on developing cryptographic systems that are resilient to quantum attacks. The main techniques in PQC include lattice-based, hash-based, code-based, and multivariate polynomial cryptography. Lattice-based cryptography is the leading contender, providing high security and supporting good properties such as fully homomorphic encryption, but facing issues related to size and computational efficiency. Hash-based encryption enables strong digital signatures but has limitations. Code-based encryption based on error-correcting codes provides proof of security but requires small size. Multivariate polynomial cryptography has good performance but has drawbacks in some applications. While standardization efforts led by organizations such as NIST continue, PQC is at the forefront of protecting the digital future from the impact of quantum computing, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of information in the post-quantum era.

The advance of quantum computing poses significant risks to traditional cryptographic systems, including RSA and ECC, due to algorithms such as Shor's, prompting an urgent need for robust post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions. This paper presents a systematic review of PQC algorithms, encompassing lattice-based, code-based, multivariate polynomial, hash-based, and supersingular isogeny-based cryptography. By evaluating recent publications and NIST standardization efforts, we assess these approaches in terms of quantum resistance, computational efficiency, scalability, and implementation challenges. Lattice-based schemes, notably CRYSTALS-Kyber, excel in quantum-secure encryption and performance, whereas codebased systems like McEliece are hindered by large key sizes. Hash-based signatures, such as SPHINCS+, and isogeny-based protocols, including SIDH, provide promising alternatives but require further optimization to reduce computational overhead. Our analysis highlights the potential of hybrid PQC methods and lightweight hardware implementations for securing emerging domains like IoT, blockchain, and financial systems. The review serves as a foundational resource for researchers and practitioners, advocating the adoption of quantum-resistant cryptography to preserve data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity in the quantum era.

The advent of quantum computing poses a significant challenge to conventional cryptographic methods such as RSA, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), and Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Quantum algorithms, particularly Shor’s algorithm, have the potential to break these encryption techniques, making it essential to develop cryptographic approaches that can withstand quantum threats. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has emerged as a crucial area of research, aiming to establish cryptographic mechanisms that remain secure even in the presence of quantum adversaries. This study presents a detailed comparative analysis of five primary categories of quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms: lattice-based, code-based, hash-based, multivariate polynomial, and isogeny-based encryption schemes. Each of these approaches offers distinct advantages and challenges in terms of security, efficiency, and implementation feasibility. Among them, lattice-based cryptography has gained significant attention due to its robust security properties and computational efficiency, making it a strong candidate for standardization. Conversely, code-based cryptography provides high security but is hindered by its large key sizes, affecting its practical deployment. The research includes a real-time performance assessment of selected PQC algorithms, analyzing key factors such as encryption speed, key size, and computational demands. Furthermore, the study examines the challenges associated with transitioning from classical encryption standards to quantum-resistant frameworks, including compatibility constraints, computational overhead, and the necessity for global standardization. Potential mitigation approaches, such as hybrid cryptographic techniques that integrate both classical and post-quantum encryption models, are also explored. Our findings emphasize that while quantum-resistant cryptography is still evolving, early adoption of PQC frameworks is essential for safeguarding future communication networks. This paper provides valuable insights for researchers, cybersecurity professionals, and policymakers on strategic measures to implement quantum-secure encryption systems effectively.
