Abstract

This chapter gives a short introduction into the field of cryptography. After defining the protection goals of cryptography, we briefly describe the main cryptographic primitives used to achieve these goals. We describe why the currently used public key cryptosystems become insecure in the presence of quantum computers and thereby motivate the field of post-quantum cryptography. We discuss current research activities in this field and introduce the main families of post-quantum cryptosystems.
