Quantum Scientists Have Built a New Math of Cryptography

SMRTR summary

Quantum cryptographers have made a breakthrough in building a more secure foundation for encryption. Researchers Dakshita Khurana and Kabir Tomer developed "one-way puzzles," a quantum-classical hybrid building block that can support various cryptographic protocols. Their work shows that quantum cryptography could potentially remain secure even if classical encryption methods are broken, though practical implementation is still years away.
