An explanation of lattice-based cryptography would fall outside the scope of this document but more information about these algorithms can be found in their NIST submissions at <https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptography/round-3-submissions>.

Unfortunately, it might come as a shock, but we do not actually know that these algorithms will resist attacks from quantum computers. In fact, we do not even know that these algorithms are safe against a conventional computer. Its getting less and less likely, but someone could break lattice-based cryptography. However, as security experts will tell you, this is how cryptography has always worked. Algorithms are good when we start using them, but weaknesses and vulnerabilities are discovered and technology gets better. The post-quantum algorithms are somewhat problematic in that they are relatively new and could use a bit more attention from the community.
