Trend Technology 10: encryption hidden in noisy multi-dimensional lattices
Summary
The report's tenth selected technology answers the quantum threat by changing the mathematical problem rather than lengthening the key: information is encoded in a vast multi-dimensional grid of points with small random errors added during encryption, so the correct solution cannot be distinguished from plausible wrong ones by classical or quantum machines.
