Abstract:
All cryptography currently in use is vulnerable and will become obsolete once quantum computing becomes available. Continuing the current path seeking for more and more complex algorithms cannot guarantee neither secrecy nor unbreakability. Increasing the complexity while it keeps being vulnerable does not seem to be the right approach. Thinking outside the box is not enough. We need to start looking from a different perspective for a different path to ensure data privacy and secrecy. In this paper, we share advances in searching for perfect secrecy instead of complexity and we try to light a path to a whole new quantum-resistant cryptography.
