Crystography, which is the combination of Cryptography and Steganography could be a suitable "tool" for enhancing the security of communications and/or computations over the cloud.Most existing Crystographic systems are based on Public key Cryptographic schemes like RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), whose security depends on the difficulty of solving Integer Factorisation Problem (IFP) and Discrete Logarithm problem (DLP) respectively.However, techniques for solving IFP and DLP problems, improves continually.Therefore, the existence of Quantum Computers in the range of 1000 bits would be a real world threat to systems based on those problems.This paper thus propose a new Crystographic System that combines Post Quantum Cryptography with Steganography to ensure that security of cloud communication is maintained both in Classical Computing era as well as Post-Quantum Computing era.
