Complexity theory has a profound influence on the field of cryptology. The time complexity of breaking a cipher system must be significant enough to thwart any adversary from succeeding. However, with the emergence of quantum computers an adversary may have no difficulty in breaking known cipher systems. If quantum computers would exist today new mechanisms for security would need to be built. ...
