Quantum Computing and Cryptography

Abstract
This paper explores the intersection of quantum computing and cryptography, analyzing how

quantum algorithms challenge classical encryption and how quantum-resistant cryptographic

methods are emerging to counteract these threats.

Introduction
Quantum computing leverages quantum mechanics principles to perform computations at

unprecedented speeds. While this breakthrough holds immense potential, it also poses a significant

threat to current cryptographic standards, necessitating the development of quantum-resistant

security techniques.

Main Content
1. Shor's Algorithm and Cryptographic Vulnerability:

Quantum computers can efficiently factor large numbers, breaking RSA encryption widely used

today.

2. Post-Quantum Cryptography:

New cryptographic methods, such as lattice-based encryption, are being developed to withstand

quantum attacks.

3. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD):

Using quantum mechanics, QKD ensures secure communication by detecting eavesdropping

attempts.

4. Challenges and Implementation:


Quantum technology is still in its infancy, with scalability and error correction as major hurdles to

overcome.

Conclusion
The advancement of quantum computing presents both opportunities and risks. As researchers

push the boundaries of quantum algorithms, the field of cryptography must evolve to ensure data

security in the quantum era.
