What distinguishes quantum-safe from quantum-secure?
Quantum-safe solutions are resistant to known attacks from both classical and quantum computers based on current mathematical understanding, while quantum-secure solutions utilize methods, like one-time pad (OTP) encryption with true random numbers from quantum sources, designed to be unbreakable even with future quantum advancements.
This is a type of encryption or signing algorithm, where the encryption and decryption steps use different keys – often the recipient will have a private key to decrypt and a public key for others to encrypt it for them.
