Abstract
Security is the crucial aspect of all applications and networks. Due to the increasing use of the Internet all over the world, the importance of security is also increasing. Cryptography is used for converting plaintext into ciphertext for securing it from hackers. Based on speed and efficiency, the best cryptographic algorithm is decided among various other algorithms. With the advancement in time, attackers are becoming smarter than in the past, e.g., quantum adversaries. So to secure the network from those attacks, quantum cryptography is used, which is based on the laws of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we have compared various classical and quantum cryptographic algorithms based on different parameters in different settings to determine one of the best algorithms in both cryptography techniques (classical and quantum).
