Secure Quantum Computing / Spring 2026 / Class 3 / Computer Security Basics, Part 2

Overview: This is the recording of the third class lecture for the Secure Quantum Computing course. This class and video lecture contain second part of introduction to computer security basics. It covers topics such as public-key cryptography; short discussion of Shor's algorithm; overview of NIST's process for Post-Quantum Cryprograph (PQC, which is important but not focus on this course); and discussion of digital signatures. Course and Video Organization: Class 1 - Introduction to Secure Quantum Computing Course Class 2 - Computer Security Basics, Part 1 Class 3 - (this video) Computer Security Basics, Part 2 Class 4 - Threat Categories for Quantum Computing Systems, Part 1 ...
