: Uses error-correcting codes to create security.
The current security infrastructure relies on mathematical problems (like RSA and ECC) that are easy for classical computers to solve but would be trivial for a sufficiently powerful quantum computer using . This creates a "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threat, where adversaries steal encrypted data today to unlock it once quantum technology matures. 1. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Do We Need Quantum Leaps in Security?
: Using machine learning to detect anomalies at speeds impossible for human analysts, countering AI-powered "polymorphic" malware. Summary of the Transition Traditional Security Quantum-Resistant Security Mathematical Basis Factoring large numbers Lattice, Isogeny, or Code-based math Primary Threat Brute force/Classical hacking Quantum computing (Shor's Algorithm) Security Type Computational (Hard to solve) Information-Theoretic (Laws of physics) : Uses error-correcting codes to create security
: Currently the frontrunner for NIST standards, relying on the complexity of finding shortest vectors in high-dimensional grids. Decrypt Later" threat
