The classical encryption systems are shrouded in darkness with the so-rapid development of the methods of computing and the innovation of quantum computer. Classical cryptographic protocols such as RSA, AES and ECC have been on the data security programs over years and their resistance against any classical attack is well known. Nonetheless, these new algorithms are getting more threatened when quantum threats exist which can take advantage of the mathematical structures on which traditional cryptography has been developed. We provide an in-depth comparison of the classical vs post-quantum encryption algorithms speed, computation difficulty, scalability and degree to which they are susceptible to quantum attacks. The summary also encompasses both post-quantum, lattice breaking procedures and assaults to code-based and hash-based cryptographic structures. The experimental results and theoretical analysis both demonstrate the trade-off of security strength, key size, implicit execution complexity of both paradigms. These results can be used to inform the construction of highly sought after hybrid cryptographic protocols that guarantee data confidentiality along with integrity when classical and quantum machines are present.

In modern computer networks, cryptography is vital for preserving privacy, protecting sensitive information, and securing online communication. The mathematical problems that conventional encryption algorithms such as RSA and ECC depend on are tough for standard computers to tackle. Nonetheless, these traditional methods could be vulnerable to quantum assaults due to the rapid advancement of quantum computing. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods designed to be secure against both classical and quantum computers. These algorithms rely on mathematical challenges believed to be resistant to quantum attacks, such as multivariate polynomial, hash, lattice, and code-based problems. This paper examines the necessity for post-quantum cryptography, the weaknesses of existing cryptographic systems, and the various categories of post-quantum algorithms.
As quantum computing advances, traditional cryptographic schemes such as RSA face increasing vulnerability to attacks. This investigative study delves into the realm of post-quantum cryptography, focusing specifically on variants of RSA designed to resist quantum attacks. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and cryptographic protocols, we analyse the strengths and weaknesses of various post-quantum RSA variants, including lattice-based, code-based, and hash-based approaches. Additionally, we evaluate the computational efficiency and security guarantees of these variants, considering factors such as key size, encryption/decryption speed, and resistance to quantum algorithms. Our findings provide insights into the current state of post-quantum RSA, highlighting promising directions for further research and development in the quest for quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions. In the future robust variants of RSA, algorithms will help the stakeholders of the cryptosystems to instil faith in the security of the system in the face of challenges which is inadvertently posed by the attackers using advanced security attack vectors.
The rapid progress of quantum computing is changing the assumptions on which many modern security systems are built. Public-key methods such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) remain dependable against conventional computers, yet their underlying mathematical problems can be solved efficiently by a sufficiently capable quantum computer using algorithms such as Shor's algorithm. This creates a practical need to evaluate cryptographic techniques that can continue to protect information in a post-quantum environment. This study compares representative classical algorithms - RSA, ECC, and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) - with post-quantum approaches, with particular attention to CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium. The comparison considers security assumptions, key-generation cost, encryption and decryption time, key size, memory demand, and resistance to quantum attacks. The reported benchmark values indicate that RSA has the highest processing cost among the evaluated schemes, whereas CRYSTALS-Kyber provides comparatively fast key generation, encryption, and decryption while maintaining resistance to known quantum attacks. The study also discusses a hybrid migration model in which established classical mechanisms and post-quantum algorithms operate together during the transition period. Overall, the findings support a gradual move toward quantum-resistant communication systems while recognising the deployment and storage overhead introduced by larger post-quantum keys.
As quantum computing technology evolves, it poses greater risks to current cryptography schemes such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), widely used to secure digital communications These classical algorithms are based on mathematical problems that quantum algorithms such as Shore-Grover deal with.

It examines the efficiency, benefits, and challenges associated with implementing these algorithms in real-world applications. By comparing key parameters such as key size, encryption/decryption speed, and signature size, this study examines the relative strengths and limitations of post-quantum algorithms to their classical counterparts The results show that lattice-based algorithms , such as NTRU and Kyber, offer promising solutions with relative efficiency and manageable key sizes, making them potential candidates for quantum-resistant cryptography but other approaches , such as SPHINCS+ (hash-based) and McEliece (code-based), large -Face challenges of key size and slow encryption speed, which may limit their usefulness in some applications Despite these challenges, quantum post-cryptography is necessary to secure the future of digital communications.
The fact that modern cryptographic systems are susceptible to a significant attack from quantum computing which solves complex mathematical problem exponentially faster than the classical scheme of computers makes the present situation a dangerous one. Legacy encryption methods including RSA, ECC, and AES that are the heart of secure communication are especially susceptible to quantum attacks such as Shor’s and Grover’s algorithms. To mitigate this potential threat, this research puts forth state of the art quantum-resistant technologies inclusive of lattice based cryptography and hash based signature solutions. The Lattice-Hash Hybrid method that is proposed, improves security by exploiting the computational intractability of lattice problems and the collision resistance of the hash functions, making it very hard to crack the system using quantum decryption algorithms. In the study, a comparative analysis of the proposed method with traditional lattice-based, hash-based and code-based cryptographic methods is performed. Experimental results suggest that the proposed algorithm features better encryption speed, decreased decryption latency, and increased security level as compared with the current state of the art. The results emphasize the need for the implementation of cutting edge electronic cryptography strategies to protect integrity and confidentiality of data in the days to come within the context of quantum computing. Further research will concentrate on optimizing the proposed techniques further and bringing them to real-world deployment.
With the rapid advancement regarding quantum computing, traditional cryptographic systems face an existential threat because of their reliance concerning mathematical challenges which may be addressed effectively solved using quantum algorithms like the one developed by Shor. This imminent risk has driven extensive research into quantum-resistant cryptography (PQC), that seeks to develop encryption methods resilient against attacks powered by quantum computing. This study offers a thorough literature survey on high-level security techniques in quantum security for PQC, analysing past and current research efforts in this domain. We first examine the vulnerabilities of classical cryptographic protocols, including public-key encryption methods such as RSA (developed by Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) and ECC (which uses elliptic curve mathematics), and traditional cryptographic hashing methods, against quantum adversaries. The study then explores the foundational approaches to quantum-secure cryptography, including lattice-based, hash-based, multivariate polynomial, code-based, and isogeny-based encryption methods that possess emerged as promising candidates for standardization. The survey highlights key challenges in the real-world application of PQC, including performance trade-offs, key size overhead, and deployment complexities. We conclude by identifying future research directions during the creation of scalable, efficient, and provably secure cryptographic methods designed to withstand quantum attacks techniques. As the shift toward the quantum-resilient era approaches, this survey aims to provide a clear and structured comprehension of the evolving the domain of quantum security for PQC.
