Research of Cryptographic Protocols for Secure Communications in the Quantum Computer Era
Takashi Yamakawa · NTT technical review · 2023
The development of quantum computers has been progressing rapidly in recent years based on principles fundamentally different from those of conventional computers.It is known that they can be used to break many of the encryption schemes that are now in actual use.To counter this threat, there is a need for "postquantum cryptography" that cannot be broken even by quantum computers.In this interview, we asked NTT Distinguished Researcher Takashi Yamakawa to tell about his research in solving such social issues using cryptography.
