Quantum technologies are reshaping the foundations of secure communication.
While quantum computers pose a significant threat to existing classical cryptographic systems and critical infrastructures, they also pave the way for fundamentally new approaches to security.
As a result, two complementary security paradigms have emerged: quantum cryptography, which derives information-theoretic security from the laws of quantum physics, and post-quantum cryptography, which develops classical algorithms designed to remain secure and resistant against quantum adversaries.
