Abstract:
This research is crucial as it explores the significant influence of quantum algorithms on cryptography. This work thoroughly analyzes the relationship between the advancing skills of quantum computing and the development of cryptography techniques. This work aims to comprehensively evaluate the impact of quantum algorithms on cryptographic techniques, including their role in introducing weaknesses in current systems and facilitating the development of more secure, quantum-resistant solutions. The study commences by outlining the basic principles of quantum computing, highlighting the unique characteristics of quantum algorithms that set them apart from classical algorithms. The text offers an in-depth analysis of important quantum algorithms, including Shor's algorithm and Grover's algorithm, which have substantial impacts on cryptographic security. The study examines the weaknesses that quantum algorithms bring to conventional cryptography systems like RSA and ECC. The rapid progress in quantum computing emphasizes the need for the cryptographic community to tackle these vulnerabilities promptly. Ultimately, the paper provides a thorough examination of how quantum algorithms affect cryptography. It highlights how quantum computing can both threaten the security of present cryptography systems and stimulate the development of stronger, quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions.
