Quantum computing research is at a high pace across the globe since it can solve many problems efficiently when compared with classical computing. The quantum features such as superposition, entanglement and interference are dangerous for classical cryptography algorithms (public key cryptosystem) that are used in real life secure communication. Even though technologists know about this danger, quantum insecure algorithms are used in the majority of the communication. There is a need to bring awareness to implement the quantum safe algorithms for the secure communication regardless of the complexity, cost and other factors. Also, there is a need for the development of quantum secure techniques to overcome the quantum attacks that can arise in the future. Hence, it is required for the researchers, industry practitioners and academicians to know about the need and present research and development in Quantum communication and information security.
