Post‑Quantum Cryptography

Encryption

Crypto designed to stay safe even if powerful quantum computers exist.

Definition

Post‑quantum cryptography is encryption designed to resist attacks from future quantum computers.

In plain English Crypto designed to stay safe even if powerful quantum computers exist.

Why this matters

Why it matters: Some current encryption methods could become weaker if large quantum computers arrive.

Example

Example: A service starts using quantum‑resistant algorithms for key exchange.
