Quantum-Safe Cryptographic Algorithms: Preparing for the Post-Quantum Cybersecurity Era

Abstract

As quantum computing advances, it poses a significant threat to current cryptographic systems, potentially rendering many of today's encryption methods obsolete. This paper explores the landscape of quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms, which are designed to withstand the computational capabilities of quantum machines. We review the current state of quantum computing and its implications for cybersecurity, examine various quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms, and discuss their practical implications for future cybersecurity strategies.
