Post-quantum cryptography (PQC), sometimes referred to as quantum-proof, quantum-safe, or quantum-resistant, is the development of cryptographic algorithms (usually public-key algorithms) that are currently thought to be secure against a cryptanalytic attack by a quantum computer.
By Bruce Ng Ever since Bitcoin was created, the perennial question, asked by skeptics and advocates alike, could be condensed into four simple words: Can Bitcoin be hacked? The perennial answer ...
It's time the crypto community faced up to the challenge of super-computing to their networks, says CoinDesk's chief content officer.
Neuromorphic quantum computing (abbreviated as ‘n.quantum computing’) is an unconventional type of computing that uses neuromorphic computing to perform quantum operations. It was suggested that quantum algorithms, which are algorithms that run on a realistic model of quantum computation, can be computed equally efficiently with ...
Security against quantum computers [ edit ] Quantum computers can break public-key cryptographic schemes, such as RSA, finite-field DH and elliptic-curve DH key-exchange protocols, using Shor's algorithm for solving the factoring problem , the discrete logarithm problem , and the period-finding problem.
In the classical setting, i.e. without quantum communication, one player can (in principle) always cheat against any protocol. [4] There are classical protocols based on commitment schemes, but they assume that the players lack the computing power to break the scheme. In contrast, quantum coin flipping protocols can resist cheating even by ...
Unlike more widely used and known public-key schemes such as the RSA, Diffie-Hellman or elliptic-curve cryptosystems — which could, theoretically, be defeated using Shor's algorithm on a quantum computer — some lattice-based constructions appear to be resistant to attack by both classical and quantum computers.
The following are proposals for demonstrating quantum computational supremacy using current technology, often called NISQ devices. [2] Such proposals include (1) a well-defined computational problem, (2) a quantum algorithm to solve this problem, (3) a comparison best-case classical algorithm to solve the problem, and (4) a complexity-theoretic argument that, under a reasonable assumption, no ...
