AI Summary

The shift towards post-quantum cryptography is driven by the potential for quantum computers to compromise current encryption methods. Organizations currently rely on public-key cryptography, such as elliptic curve cryptography and RSA, to protect sensitive information like credentials. However, these methods may be vulnerable to quantum computers in the future.
