Preparing for Quantum Threats With Post-Quantum Cryptography

Simran Mishra

Quantum computers can break current encryption like RSA and ECC using Shor’s algorithm.

Harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks collect encrypted data today for future quantum decryption.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) creates algorithms secure against both classical and quantum attacks.

PQC uses lattice-based, hash-based, code-based, and multivariate polynomial cryptography.

Algorithms run on classical computers, making PQC practical for current systems.

Organizations should assess where and how cryptography is used in their systems.

Monitor standards from NIST and ETSI to stay updated on PQC developments.

Plan migration by testing PQC alongside current cryptography for performance stability.

Protect sensitive data with hybrid encryption combining classical and PQC methods.
