Quantum Computing for Cybersecurity Attacks

  • Unique Paper ID: 194999
  • Volume: 12
  • Issue: 10
  • PageNo: 6397-6399
  • Abstract:
  • A new technique called quantum computing makes use of the principles of quantum physics to solve issues that are too complicated for modern computers. Quantum computers, in contrast to conventional computers, are capable of processing enormous volumes of data at astounding rates, providing opportunities for advancements in industries like cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, energy, medicine, and finance. The protection of sensitive data, encryption methods, and digital information against possible vulnerability by quantum computers is known as quantum computing cybersecurity. It can crack many modern encryption techniques, including RSA and ECC, in a matter of seconds, endangering private information, secure connections, and blockchain systems. "Harvest now, decrypt later" refers to the possibility of hackers stealing data now and using quantum technology to decrypt it later. Experts and companies worldwide are developing quantum-resistant cryptography—new security techniques meant to withstand large quantum computers—in order to defend against these dangers.
