Abstract:

Quantum computing is one of the significant advancements in computational power, stating the possibility of solving otherwise impossible problems with classical computers. Nevertheless, this IT breakthrough opens a new level of the issues in protecting against cyber threats. Quantum computers are predicted to crack most encryption methods that secure our computer networks the most, putting data confidentiality and data integrity at risk. Consequently, this report analyzes the new forms of threats related to cybersecurity and considers possible ways of addressing those threats connected with quantum computing. We perform precise simulation reports as per real-time case to understand the vulnerability research of existing security systems, and most important, we perform the analysis of the quantum attack using the specifications of the existing security system to exhibit how these threats could occur in the real world. As our results have shown, there is a need for quant-oriented cryptographic algorithms and practical strategies to prevent the compromising of important information. Furthermore, we describe the main problems regarding the appearance of quantum-safe technologies and present the complex solutions for their solutions. Taking these measures before they become necessary is crucial because the new developments in quantum technology will most definitely threaten digital infrastructure
