Cryptography using Quantum Computing

About the Project

Attacks against the cryptographic algorithm are one of the many parameters that can be used in a cryptographic assault. The project focuses on how most types of conventional public key encryption are expected to be broken by quantum computing. It highlights how finding quantum-safe algorithms and practices is therefore of utmost importance. Online financial transactions and communications could be targeted by hackers with access to quantum computers if there aren't quantum-safe cryptographic safeguards in place for everything from autonomous vehicles to military hardware. This project, via various modules, focuses on the following topics in particular: current cryptographic schemes (symmetric and asymmetric), quantum computing challenges, differences between quantum and classical computing, quantum algorithms ,affected public key encryption schemes and post quantum cryptography.
