How Quantum Computers Break Encryption

Quantum computers use Shor's Algorithm to factor large numbers quickly:

N = p × q

Classical Factoring (Slow)

Shor

Quantum Factoring (Fast)

Shor's Algorithm can break RSA & ECC in polynomial time, while classical computers take exponential time.

Post-Quantum Cryptography

New algorithms resistant to quantum attacks:

• Lattice-based (e.g., NTRU, Kyber)
• Hash-based (e.g., SPHINCS+)
• Code-based (e.g., McEliece)
• Multivariate (e.g., Rainbow)

Governments & companies (NIST, Google) are working on quantum-resistant standards.
