Hybrid cryptography combines traditional and post-quantum asymmetric cryptographic techniques ... Thus, a hybrid encryption protocol will perform "dual encryption" so to speak, using both a pre-quantum algorithm ... and a post-quantum algorithm, so that even if a potential attacker were to break the post-quantum encryption layer, the data would still be protected by pre-quantum cryptography.

La cryptographie hybride consiste à combiner les techniques de cryptographie asymétrique classiques et post-quantiques [...] Ainsi, un protocole de chiffrement hybride effectuera (en quelque sorte) un double chiffrement, à la fois avec un algorithme pré-quantique [...] et avec un algorithme post-quantique, de sorte que même si un attaquant potentiel venait à casser la couche de chiffrement post-quantique, la donnée restera protégée par la cryptographie pré-quantique.

Key term(s)
  • algorithme de cryptographie postquantique
  • algorithme postquantique
