Privacy and Scaling Explorations

This post was written by PSE researcher Miha Stopar. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is important because it addresses the potential threat posed by quantum computers to classical cryptographic systems. Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations exponentially faster than classical computers in certain cases. Two algorithms, in particular, pose significant threats:Shor’s Algorithm: Efficiently solves integer factorization and discrete logarithm probl...
