Post-Quantum Cryptography | Institutional Automation

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) refers to the development of cryptographic algorithms designed to withstand attacks from both classical and future quantum computers. The advent of sufficiently powerful quantum computers, though not yet realized, necessitates a transition to quantum-resistant methods to secure sensitive data and communications. This field is rapidly evolving, with standardization efforts underway by organizations like the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to select and deploy new cryptographic primitives that will form the backbone of future secure digital infrastructure. The migration to PQC is a complex, global undertaking with significant implications for national security, financial systems, and everyday digital interactions.
