The advent and eventual proliferation of quantum computers will lead to many modern encryption and digital signature algorithms being rendered obsolete. The most popular public key/asymmetric cryptosystems (PKC) which include Diffie-Hellman, Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), RSA, etc., are based on discrete log problems and integer factorization. This MQP examines modern cryptosystems and their susceptibility to quantum attacks using tools like the Shor’s algorithm. It also implements the Nth Degree Truncated Polynomial Ring Units (NTRU) post quantum cryptosystem in a web accessible format which will be used to develop a post quantum communication progressive web application (PWA) accessible on any range of devices.
