= Post-quantum cryptography
<Cryptography> intended to remain secure against adversaries with quantum computers. It includes classical algorithms based on problems other than the <integer factorization> and <discrete logarithm> problems efficiently treated by <Shor's algorithm>. A candidate's security still depends on its precise construction, parameters and known attacks; the label alone is not a proof. It is distinct from requiring quantum hardware for <quantum key distribution>.
