Nano-enabled cryptography works by integrating nanoscale materials and structures into cryptographic protocols. For example, quantum dots can be used to generate truly random numbers, which are essential for creating secure encryption keys. Carbon nanotubes and other nanomaterials can be employed to develop highly secure hardware encryption devices that are resistant to tampering and side-channel attacks. Additionally, the unique properties of nanomaterials can be used to create cryptographic primitives that are inherently secure against quantum attacks.
