However, sufficiently large, cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) will be capable of breaking these mathematical foundations using [Shor's algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm). **Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)** refers to a new class of cryptographic algorithms designed to run on classical hardware while remaining mathematically secure against attacks from both classical and quantum computers.
