Hybrid cryptography combines traditional and post-quantum asymmetric cryptographic techniques ... Thus, a hybrid encryption protocol will perform "dual encryption" so to speak, using both a pre-quantum algorithm ... and a post-quantum algorithm, so that even if a potential attacker were to break the post-quantum encryption layer, the data would still be protected by pre-quantum cryptography. 4, record 1, English, - post%2Dquantum%20cryptography%20algorithm

La cryptographie hybride consiste à combiner les techniques de cryptographie asymétrique classiques et post-quantiques [...] Ainsi, un protocole de chiffrement hybride effectuera (en quelque sorte) un double chiffrement, à la fois avec un algorithme pré-quantique [...] et avec un algorithme post-quantique, de sorte que même si un attaquant potentiel venait à casser la couche de chiffrement post-quantique, la donnée restera protégée par la cryptographie pré-quantique. 3, record 1, French, - algorithme%20de%20cryptographie%20post%2Dquantique

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 2, 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 2, Spanish, - criptograf%C3%ADa%20postcu%C3%A1ntica
