Abstract

Quantum computing represents a paradigm shift in computation that has the potential to significantly disrupt current cryptographic systems. While it offers unprecedented computational power, this technology also poses serious threats to the security of classical encryption methods. This paper explores the dual nature of quantum computing in the context of cryptography, examining both the opportunities it presents for developing quantum-resistant algorithms and the challenges it poses for existing cryptographic frameworks. Through a review of current literature and developments in the field, this study highlights the urgent need for adaptation in cryptographic practices to safeguard sensitive information against the capabilities of quantum computers.
