Beyond Binary: The Capabilities of Classical and Quantum Computing for Securing Data Transmission

Abstract

In the present times, the demand for sophisticated encryption methods has escalated, especially for securing data transmission in vulnerable environments. These methods leverage diverse algorithms to fortify the integrity of communication channels. Quantum mechanics plays a pivotal role in two specific areas: quantum key distribution and property-based cryptography, both of which contribute to establishing secure communication protocols. This study focuses on conducting a comparative evaluation of classical and quantum cryptography, employing various cryptography algorithms. The objective is to ascertain the optimal algorithm within each realm classical and quantum cryptography for ensuring robust security.
