Introduction
In today’s digital age, secure communication is crucial for ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information. With the rise of quantum computing, traditional cryptographic algorithms are at risk of being broken, leading to potential security breaches. Post-quantum cryptography offers a solution to this problem by providing cryptographic schemes that are secure against attacks from quantum computers. This thesis explores the use of post-quantum cryptography for secure communications, aiming to provide insights into the current state of the field and its potential implications for future communication protocols.
