Post Quantum Cryptography for Public Key Infrastructure

Abstract

The thesis highlights the potential danger posed by quantum computing to traditional encryption algorithms, with the possibility that existing algorithms may be rendered obsolete soon. To prepare for this eventuality, companies should source information and build a post-quantum public key infrastructure, or consider replacing existing algorithms with post-quantum algorithms as soon as practicable. This will ensure that their systems remain secure against quantum computing threats. Through providing comprehensive analysis and implementation suggestions, this thesis provides a valuable resource to the cybersecurity field and could have far-reaching implications for the future of public key infrastructure.
