Post-quantum cryptography: Algorithms, Implementation & Overview

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC), sometimes referred to as quantum-proof, quantum-safe, or quantum-resistant, is the development of cryptographic algorithms (usually public-key algorithms) that are currently thought, but not proven, to be secure against a cryptanalytic attack by a quantum computer. Most widely used public-key algorithms rely on the…
