How does Quantum Computing Threaten Traditional Cryptography?
Traditional cryptographic systems, such as RSA and ECC, rely on the difficulty of problems like integer factorization and discrete logarithms, which are computationally expensive to solve with classical computers. However, quantum computers have the potential to break these systems efficiently using algorithms like Shor's algorithm. This poses a significant threat to digital security, necessitating the development of quantum resistant cryptographic methods.
