contents <h2><strong>Abstract</strong></h2> <p>This guide focuses on <strong>symmetric-key cryptography (SKC)</strong> as part of quantum-safe cryptographic practices using <strong>IBM Q</strong>. Symmetric-key cryptography protects the majority of data in storage and transmission due to its efficiency and simplicity.
