This thesis addresses the rise of quantum computers, focusing in particular on understanding their impact on currently used cryptographic systems and the ways in which this threat can be mitigated. The topic is explored starting from an explanation of what a quantum computer is, leading up to how Grover's and Shor's algorithms can be used to attack protocols that are fundamental today, such as RSA and ECC.
In questa tesi viene affrontato il tema dell'ascesa dei quantum computer, in particolare si punta a comprendere il loro impatto sui sistemi di crittografia attualmente in uso e i modi in cui si può affrontare questa minaccia. L'argomento viene affrontato partendo dalla spiegazione di un quantum computer, fino a spiegare come gli algoritmi di Groover e Shor possono essere utilizzati per attaccare protocolli oggi fondamentali come RSA e ECC.

Abstract
This thesis addresses the rise of quantum computers, focusing in particular on understanding their impact on currently used cryptographic systems and the ways in which this threat can be mitigated. The topic is explored starting from an explanation of what a quantum computer is, leading up to how Grover's and Shor's algorithms can be used to attack protocols that are fundamental today, such as RSA and ECC.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
