Post-Quantum Cryptography is a keyword coined by Dan Bernstein to refer to (cryptography related) computational assumptions that are not known to be broken by a potential Quantum Computer. This field is currently gaining considerable momentum and several new improvements are making use of such computational assumptions continuously more appealing to users. The main three sources of such hypothesis are the fields of coding theory, real lattice problems and multivariate polynomial with low degrees. Because of the threat generated by the potential existence of a quantum computer, a lot of attention is now moving onto these alternative assumptions.

后量子密码学（英语：Post-Quantum Cryptography）是由丹·伯恩斯坦（英语：Dan Bernstein）创造的一个关键词，指的是（与密码学相关的）计算假设，这些假设不知道会被潜在的量子计算机打破。这一领域目前正获得相当大的势头和几个新的改进正在利用这样的计算假设不断更吸引用户。这种假设的主要来源有三个：编码理论、真实的格问题和多元低次多项式。由于量子计算机的潜在存在所产生的威胁，现在很多注意力都转移到了这些替代假设上。
