Security measures for both encrypting and decrypting data that are designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers are known as quantum-resistant cryptographic approaches. To answer certain mathematical problems, quantum computers (QCs) can outperform classical computers. Specifically designed to offer this security against quantum threats are cryptographic algorithms that are quantum-resistant. Maintaining efficiency and security for practical use is a significant obstacle to creating quantum-resistant cryptography algorithms. Four Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Algorithms—CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+—have been released by NIST. The paper analyses these algorithms with different parameters, performance indicators, and capacity to shed light on their usage and efficacy.
