Lattice-based cryptography is a quantum-resistant encryption method that uses complex mathematical lattices, offering security against quantum computing attacks. Unlike traditional encryption methods such as RSA and ECC, which are vulnerable to quantum computers, lattice-based cryptography remains secure due to the computational difficulty of solving lattice problems. It is expected to play a central role in post-quantum cryptography, with applications across government, military, and commercial sectors, ensuring secure communications and data protection in the quantum era.
