ABSTRACT

We review the development of quantum computing and its corresponding encryption technology in this technical paper. As quantum computing is developing, a new paradigm of encryption technology is required as existing technologies cannot secure data and communication against quantum attacks. Through a literature review, the status and direction of further development of related technologies are explored to provide a basis for improving the present encryption technology for quantum computing. There is still room for development which necessitates the collaboration of stakeholders in a global network. More advanced algorithms and cryptography are mandatory for using quantum computing which will bring revolutionary technological advancement. Based on this report, the following study to improve the present algorithm is planned to apply them to diverse areas.
Keywords: Cryptography, Encryption, Decryption, Quantum Computing, Algorithm, Blockchain
