Post-Quantum Cryptography

by Daniel J. Bernstein (editor)

Quantum computers will break today's most popular public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA, DSA, and ECDSA. This book introduces the reader to the next generation of cryptographic algorithms, the systems that resist quantum-computer in particular, post-quantum public-key encryption systems and post-quantum public-key signature systems.Leading experts have joined forces for the first time to explain the state of the art in quantum computing, hash-based cryptography, code-based cryptography, lattice-based cryptography, and multivariate cryptography. Mathematical foundations and implementation issues are included.This book is an essential resource for students and researchers who want to contribute to the field of post-quantum cryptography.
