Explanation
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is about ensuring that encrypted data remains secure even when attackers have access to quantum computers, vastly more powerful computational resources than today’s systems. Without PQC algorithms, future quantum capabilities could decrypt today’s protected data, so preparing now safeguards information against that upcoming
