post-quantum

Beyond current cryptography

Post-quantum describes cryptographic systems designed to resist attacks from quantum computers.

Current encryption relies on mathematical problems that quantum computers could eventually solve quickly, breaking the security.

Post-quantum cryptography uses different mathematical approaches that remain secure even against quantum computing: The agency is transitioning to post-quantum encryption standards.
