Title: Quantum Computing Threat to Public-Key Cryptography: A Survey.

Authors: Dr. Christopher Matthew,  Dr. Benjamin Elijah

Abstract: This survey delves into the profound threat posed by quantum computing to the security of public-key cryptography, the cornerstone of modern digital communication and commerce. It provides a comprehensive overview of the quantum algorithms, such as Shor's algorithm, that could potentially break the cryptographic systems widely used today. The paper discusses the implications of this threat on various applications, including online transactions, data privacy, and national security. It also explores the ongoing research efforts to develop quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms that can withstand the power of quantum computers.

Keywords: Quantum computing, Cryptographic security, Post-quantum cryptography
