Why is Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) superior to traditional pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) in cryptographic systems?
QRNG utilizes inherent quantum phenomena to generate true random numbers, providing genuine unpredictability and non-reproducibility, whereas PRNGs use algorithms, producing numbers that, while appearing random, are deterministic and potentially predictable.
Why is the symmetric key transmission a pivotal point of concern in quantum risk?
The symmetric key transmission process is crucial because, while symmetric keys (like AES) used to encrypt data are robust, the asymmetric exchange method used to share these keys (using algorithms like RSA or ECC) is vulnerable to quantum attacks.
