ABSTRACT

The rapid development and advances in Quantum computing and their ability to break the current standard encryption algorithms like AES 256 and Elliptic Curve Diffie Helfman (ECDH) proven by Peter Shor’s algorithm make a priority to secure the data at transit, at the heart of this problem lies the TLS protocol, this paper attempts to highlight the importance of making the TLS Protocol quantum resistant and how the NIST approved algorithms affect its performance.
