Quantum Cybersecurity

The advent of quantum computing poses significant risks to cybersecurity, as it has the potential to break current encryption methods and compromise sensitive information. Experts believe that quantum computers capable of breaking current codes could be more than a decade away, but the threat necessitates immediate action in cybersecurity planning. Quantum cybersecurity is an emerging field that focuses on the development of quantum resistant cryptographic protocols to protect against potential threats from quantum computers. It involves using quantum mechanics to improve security and the development of new, quantum resistant methods to protect against threats from future quantum computers. This paper examines the use of quantum computing in cybersecurity. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Matthias Oteniya | Janet O.
