There are ... a number of cryptosystems that are conjectured to be resistant against quantum computer attack. This family of cryptosystems are known as post-quantum cryptography (PQC). It is ... also referred to as quantum-safe cryptography (QSC) or quantum-resistant cryptography (QRC). 2, record 1, English, - post%2Dquantum%20cryptography

La computación cuántica es un hecho [y] es cuestión de tiempo para que se fabriquen computadoras cuánticas de cientos de qubits, por lo que es necesario encontrar alternativas a los algoritmos de cifrado y autenticación clásicos. La criptografía postcuántica cubre esta necesidad proveyendo una serie de algoritmos resistentes a ataques cuánticos. 2, record 1, Spanish, - criptograf%C3%ADa%20postcu%C3%A1ntica
