Publisher's Synopsis
Quantum Communication & Cryptography: Securing Data in the Post-Quantum Era
By Ethan Thompson
As quantum computing advances at an unprecedented pace, the security foundations of our digital world face an existential threat. Quantum Communication & Cryptography offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and preparing for the post-quantum era. This book explores the principles of quantum mechanics-superposition, entanglement, and wave function collapse-and their groundbreaking applications in communication and cryptography.
From the inner workings of quantum key distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms to the challenges of integrating these technologies into existing infrastructures, Ethan Thompson provides an accessible yet rigorous roadmap for cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and policymakers. Readers will gain deep insights into quantum-resistant protocols like CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, as well as the role of institutions like NIST in shaping future standards.
Covering topics from quantum random number generation to secure multi-party computation and homomorphic encryption, this book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand and safeguard data in a world where traditional encryption is no longer enough.
