Criminal Policy in Countering Cybercrime Based on Quantum Computing

Abstract

This study examines criminal policy in countering cybercrime in the era of quantum computing through a literature study method on 11 academic sources. Quantum computing poses a major threat to digital security, especially the ability to solve conventional cryptographic systems that have been the backbone of data protection. However, on the other hand, this technology opens up huge opportunities through the implementation of new security solutions such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). This study found that criminal policy in the quantum era requires regulatory updates, integration of cutting-edge security technologies, strengthening international cooperation, and implementing anticipatory governance to anticipate the acceleration of technological development. Ethical aspects and human rights protection are important considerations so that quantum technology is not abused. This research recommends a multidisciplinary approach that combines technology, legal, and public policy perspectives to create a resilient, adaptive, and sustainable cybersecurity ecosystem in the face of the challenges of the quantum era.
