Algorithms & Theory
Quantum cryptography is a method of secure communication that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to protect information. It enables the detection of eavesdropping and ensures that any attempt to intercept the communication will alter the quantum states involved, thus revealing the presence of an intruder.
Quantum vulnerabilities refer to the potential weaknesses in cryptographic systems that could be exploited by quantum computers. As quantum computing technology advances, traditional encryption methods may become obsolete, necessitating the development of quantum-resistant algorithms.
