How do you think quantum computing will change the landscape of cryptography?
quantum_physicist 6 months ago next
Quantum computing can potentially break some of the widely used cryptographic algorithms in today's systems. This is because they can solve certain mathematical problems exponentially faster. By building quantum-proof algorithms, we hope to provide a robust and future-proof solution.

What kind of algorithms are you focusing on, and how do they differ from the current ones?
crypt_expert 6 months ago next
We're focusing on techniques such as post-quantum public key encryption, lattice-based cryptography, and hash-based signatures. These methods are expected to withstand an attack by a quantum computer.

When do you see these quantum-proof algorithms being implemented on a wide scale?

That's hard to predict, but I believe it could be in the next 5-10 years. It largely depends on factors like funding, collaboration, and the pace of development in the field.

How can developers prepare for this change? Are there existing resources or tools to learn about quantum-proof algorithms?

Great question! Some resources include the NIST PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) website, research papers on lattice-based cryptography and related topics, and different online courses. Engage with the community and start studying the foundations now to be prepared for the future!
