Post Quantum Cryptography Standardisation Project

GS Paper III IT and Computers Science and Technology

Context:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) of the US has started the Post Quantum Cryptography(PQC) Standardisation Project.

About the Project:

The project would allow companies to have the proper encryption algorithms in place throughout the organization to defend against the quantum computer attacks.
The PQC standardization project is working to standardize the quantum-safe algorithms.
The idea behind this project is to prepare organizations for quantum cryptography before it becomes a real threat.

What is a quantum-safe algorithm?

A quantum-safe algorithm is resistant to attacks from both classical computers, which are the types of computers used today, and quantum computers.
This allows private information stored on devices or in transit in organizations to be the most secure possible, as even a quantum computer will not be able to break a quantum-safe algorithm within hours or days.

Post-quantum cryptography

Post-quantum cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms (usually public-key algorithms) that are thought to be secure against an attack by a quantum computer.

Quantum cryptography:

Quantum cryptography uses the principles of quantum mechanics to send secure messages, and unlike mathematical encryption, is truly unhackable.
