🧮The Math Behind Zama’s Post-Quantum Confidence When people think of “quantum computers,” they often think of a future where super computers have the ability to break all forms of encryption. It is not that simple but it is not fiction either. Quantum computers, if they ever scale, could easily break many of the systems that protect data today, like RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography. That is because those systems depend on mathematical problems (like factoring large numbers) that quantum algorithms can solve much faster than today's computers. @zama’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption doesn’t rely on those problems. It is built on something different. A branch of math called lattice-based cryptography. Here’s a rough way to picture it👇 Imagine a giant 3D grid of points extending in every direction, that’s a lattice. Now imagine hiding your secret somewhere deep within that grid.
