Lattice Cryptography: The Future of Quantum-Resistant Security 🔐

Computer science researchers are creating a new standard with lattice cryptography for a post-Moore's law world, where quantum computing is standard and traditional algebraic security methods would be easily broken.



While traditional cryptography methods have relied on algebra, lattice cryptography utilizes the geometric realm–going in different dimensions in many different directions. The result is a much more difficult to crack system that provides greater security for everyone.

Christopher Peikert, the Patrick C Fischer Development Professor of Theoretical Computer Science and associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, has research interests including cryptography, lattices, coding theory, algorithms, and computational complexity.

*This video is an update to a previous version that incorrectly referred to conventional cryptography as relying on the factoring of prime numbers, instead of factoring of numbers that are the product of two large primes.
