Introduction
Quantum computing has emerged as a promising technology that has the potential to revolutionize various fields, including cryptography. Cryptographic security is of utmost importance in today’s digital age, where sensitive information is constantly being transmitted over networks. Traditional cryptographic systems rely on mathematical problems that are difficult for classical computers to solve, providing a level of security for data encryption and decryption. However, with the advent of quantum computing, these systems may no longer be secure.
This thesis aims to explore the effectiveness of quantum computing in cryptographic security. By understanding the principles of quantum computing and its implications for cryptographic systems, we can assess the potential risks and benefits of this technology. This research will provide valuable insights into the future of cryptographic security and help to inform decision-making in the development of secure communication systems.
