Quantum Safe Security Glossary

Release Date: 01/24/2017

Working Group: Quantum-safe Security

The Quantum-Safe Security (QSS) Working Group was formed to address key generation and transmission methods and to help the industry understand quantum-safe methods for protecting networks and data. This glossary is a collective contribution of the QSS Working Group to increase quantum-safe security awareness, and includes a compilation of common terms used in the world of quantum-safe cryptography. However, quantum-safe cryptography is a very dynamic issue, prone to unpredictable patterns and instability. In anticipation of these characteristics, the QSS Working Group plans to update this document from time to time moving forward.
