Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When quantum computers wake up from their sleep
They'll crack the codes that our secrets keep
RSA and elliptic curves will fall
But we've got new defenses standing tall
Scientists are building shields today
To keep the quantum hackers at bay

[Chorus]
Post-quantum crypto, safe and sound
Lattice-based and hash-around
When the qubits start to dance
We'll still have a fighting chance
New foundations, strong and true
Quantum-proof for me and you

[Verse 2]
In the lattice world where vectors play
Finding short ones is the hardest way
Like searching for a needle in a maze
Even quantum speed won't win the race
Grid of numbers stretching far and wide
Where our future secrets safely hide

[Chorus]
Post-quantum crypto, safe and sound
Lattice-based and hash-around
When the qubits start to dance
We'll still have a fighting chance
New foundations, strong and true
Quantum-proof for me and you

[Bridge]
Hash it once, then hash again
Merkle trees are quantum's bane
One-way functions lead the fight
Turning darkness into light
Code-based schemes and multivariate
Keep our data separate

[Verse 3]
NIST is testing every single way
To find the standards for a safer day
Round by round they eliminate
The weak ones that can't take the weight
Soon we'll have the tools we need
When quantum power plants its seed

[Chorus]
Post-quantum crypto, safe and sound
Lattice-based and hash-around
When the qubits start to dance
We'll still have a fighting chance
New foundations, strong and true
Quantum-proof for me and you

[Outro]
The future's coming, but we're ready now
Post-quantum crypto shows us how
Our data's safe, our secrets keep
Even when the quantum computers leap
