Post-Quantum Cryptography and Cyber Resilience: Securing Digital Systems Against Future Threats
Participants
Summary
The advent of quantum computing poses a significant threat to traditional cryptographic systems, potentially rendering widely used encryption methods obsolete. This research focuses on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and its role in enhancing cyber resilience by developing encryption techniques resistant to quantum attacks. The study explores lattice-based, hash-based, multivariate, and code-based cryptographic algorithms, evaluating their efficiency, security, and practical implementation. Additionally, it examines the impact of PQC on blockchain, secure communications, and critical infrastructure, ensuring long-term data protection. A key aspect of this research is assessing the transition strategies from classical to quantum-safe cryptographic frameworks, including hybrid approaches for seamless migration. By addressing the challenges of performance, standardization, and deployment, this project aims to contribute to a future-proof cybersecurity landscape, ensuring robust protection against quantum-enabled cyber threats..
