N2 - The practice of securely transmitting messages in an unreadable form dates back to the dawn of humanity. Currently, cryptographic algorithms serve as the backbone of cybersecurity, safeguarding a wide array of data from personal emails and instant messages to online banking and national secrets, by ensuring Confidentiality, Integrity, and Trust within our digital infrastructure. However, with Quantum Computing's significant high-speed advancement, classical encryption algorithms risk becoming obsolete posing an imminent threat to data security. This paper delivers a technical review of recent reputable academic research on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to provide further understanding of why PQC - a new generation of algorithms designed to withstand quantum attacks, could be crucial in safeguarding digital infrastructure as quantum computing continues to evolve. On August 13, 2024, NIST released the first 3 finalized post-quantum encryption standard (CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium and Shinks+), while emphasizing the importance for relevant leadership to prepare and start implementing the appropriate system timely.
