Abstract

The frequency of cyberattacks is rising as internet usage grows more prevalent. As the race for quantum computing (QC) progresses, QC businesses and research organisations may be targeted by nation states, cybercriminals, and hacktivists for financial gain and destruction. This essay examines the state of QC technology and how cybersecurity is connected to QC. We now go into the dangers and recommended practises for preventing the quickly developing cybercrimes. Following that, we put out suggestions on how to proactively lower the cyberattack surface using threat intelligence and by ensuring that quantum software and hardware components are secure by design.

Once large-scale and fault-tolerant Qcomp(Qcomp) are built, it is projected that the security of widely used public-key science techniques (such as RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography) ...
