Exploring Post Quantum Cryptography and its Implications

This chapter delves into post quantum cryptography, discussing the vulnerability of classical encryption algorithms to quantum computing and the development of quantum-resistant encryption algorithms by NIST. It explains how quantum computers operate on qubits, contrasting with classical computers, and addresses the challenges of larger key sizes in post-quantum cryptography. The chapter also highlights the need for upgrading protocols and applications to accommodate post-quantum crypto algorithms and mentions the progress in selecting standardized algorithms like Dilithium and Sfinix Plus.
