[Selected Topics] Trends in Development of Post-Quantum Cryptography

2023/06/28

Computer System

 PDF

Currently, there are two encryption methods that are capable of resisting quantum attacks. The first is quantum cryptography that is based on quantum mechanics, while the other is post-quantum cryptography (PQC) that centers on a new class of hard mathematical problems. At the present stage, the overall benefits provided by PQC surpass those of quantum key distribution (QKD) because the underlying basis of the encryptions enabled by PQC is algorithms that quantum computers cannot break. Furthermore, PQC can be deployed with existing computing equipment. By contrast, QKD faces certain difficulties in terms of the development and setup of the related specialized equipment because quantum technology has yet to reach maturity. A considerable length of time as well as a significant amount of resources are needed to achieve widespread use for QKD.

Following the long COVID-19 pandemic, physical exhibitions finally returned to Computex in 2023. Even though the event did not reach the pre-pandemic level of grandeur, it still attracted significant market attention. Artificial intelligence (AI) was the core theme of the event. Looking at the market for AI-powered solutions, the recent emergence of AI-generated content (AIGC) has led to more emphasis on the related technological developments on the side of devices. The concept of “Hybrid AI” has also been proposed by numerous companies involved in this field. As for consumer electronics, the exhibitions at Computex 2023 revealed that device manufacturers are now investing more on new kinds of technologies and products as the mature market for the traditional kinds of consumer electronics experiences stagnant growth. Examples of new technologies and products include Wi-Fi 7, notebook computers featuring a “glasses-less 3D” display, and charging piles.
