AI security, quantum computing, post-quantum cryptography, intrusion detection, machine learning, encryption protocolsAbstract
Quantum computing is a major breakthrough in processing capabilities and can break the established cryptographic systems, which are based on the hard mathematical problems, including RSA and ECC. The security of such systems (that hold sensitive data around the world) is currently at risk like never before due to the ability of quantum algorithms such as the Shor algorithm to efficiently factor large numbers and compromise the current encryption. This has necessitated the urgency of quantum-resistant security protocols. The key to this change is the Artificial Intelligence (AI) which offers more adaptive and intelligent solutions, capable of developing and optimizing encryption techniques that can resist quantum-based attacks. The fact that AI is capable of examining large volumes of data, identifying weak points and creating defense mechanisms in real-time makes it a key instrument in securing digital infrastructures in the post-quantum era. This paper discusses the potential of AI in enhancing the creation of potent security mechanisms, and this would be used to guarantee integrity, confidentiality, and stability of digital systems in a quantum computing revolutionized future.
