= Post-quantum cryptography
{wiki=Post-quantum_cryptography}
Post-quantum cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms that are designed to be secure against the potential threats posed by quantum computers. Traditional cryptographic systems, such as RSA, DSA, and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography), rely on mathematical problems that are currently considered difficult to solve using classical computers. However, quantum computers, leveraging principles of quantum mechanics, have the potential to solve these problems much more efficiently using algorithms like Shor's algorithm.
