Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In twenty twenty-four we stand prepared
But quantum storms are brewing in the air
Shor's algorithm breaks the keys we trust
RSA and elliptic curves turn to dust
The threat is real though timeline's still unclear
Could be ten years or thirty drawing near

[Chorus]
Post-quantum crypto saves the day
When quantum breaks our keys away
Lattice problems hard to solve
Math foundations that evolve
P-Q-C protects our data flow
From the quantum threat we know

[Verse 2]
Classical crypto relies on factoring
Large numbers that would take forever solving
But quantum computers change the game
Exponential speedup breaks the chain
Discrete logs and factorization fall
When qubits dance and entangle all

[Chorus]
Post-quantum crypto saves the day
When quantum breaks our keys away
Lattice problems hard to solve
Math foundations that evolve
P-Q-C protects our data flow
From the quantum threat we know

[Bridge]
Hash functions survive the quantum tide
Symmetric keys just double in size
But public key crypto needs new ground
In lattices and codes new strength is found
Learning with errors stays secure
Isogeny paths keep data pure

[Verse 3]
NIST has chosen algorithms strong
Kyber for encryption all along
Dilithium signs with lattice base
SPHINCS Plus brings hash to the race
Migration plans we must prepare
Before the quantum threat is here

[Chorus]
Post-quantum crypto saves the day
When quantum breaks our keys away
Lattice problems hard to solve
Math foundations that evolve
P-Q-C protects our data flow
From the quantum threat we know

[Outro]
The future's quantum but we're ready now
Post-quantum crypto shows us how
Mathematics deep and algorithms new
Will see our security through
