Quantum computers have the ability to revolutionize several industries by solving complex issues at impossible rates for conventional computers. However, its rapid pace of development presents a very critical threat to current encryption methods, which form the core of cybersecurity systems. This study analyzes the security risks presented by quantum computing to current encryption methods, with special focus on its ability to compromise widespread algorithms like RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography). The study seeks to identify the exact vulnerabilities introduced by quantum computing and assess the extent of the threat to current cryptographic systems. It emphasizes the need for quantum-resistant encryption methods like lattice-based, code-based, and multivariate polynomial cryptosystems, which are being proposed as a possible replacement for current methods. Through the analysis of the position of quantum algorithms like Shor's and Grover's, the study analyzes the time horizon over which quantum computers can compromise current encryption standards and the measures that organizations need to take in response to these risks. Furthermore, this study will identify the current gaps in quantum-resistant cryptography research and suggest how to accelerate the development of secure encryption methods that are quantum-resistant. This project is crucial to the advancement of secure communication systems that can resist the emerging quantum threat and continue protecting sensitive data in a post-quantum computing world. Through this analysis, the study further enhances the understanding of the future cybersecurity paradigm and the urgent need for quantum-safe encryption solutions.
