Goodbye RSA and ECC, And Hello To Polynomial Rings (X^N+1)

--

And so the era of RSA and ECC will come to an end within the next decade or so. While they have served us well, the advent of quantum computers will see them fade into the background. Our systems must then migrate, and one of the main contenders to replace them is lattice encryption. With this we use polynomials to represent our lattice points, and where we add errors to these points.
