      abstract = {The worldwide digital construction and sophisticated cyber risks demand strong protective techniques that will remain secure. Traditional cryptographic methods maintain their effectiveness but remain exposed due to the computer power that quantum systems could access in the following years. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), under the framework of quantum cryptography, has proven itself as an optimal methodology to handle security vulnerabilities through its potential for uncrackable encryption. Implementing quantum mechanics principles in quantum cryptography systems produces encrypted communication networks, which defend against interference from standard computers and quantum computers. The research evaluates how quantum cryptography implements future-proof cybersecurity measures through its capabilities to tackle security threats from quantum computer implementation. The paper presents the basic principles of quantum cryptography while explaining QKD and quantum Entanglement and then evaluates their deployment in current cybersecurity systems. The research analyzes quantum cryptography versus traditional cryptography to assess both methods by scalability, cost, and compatibility with existing security infrastructure. Quantum cryptographic protocols receive attention in this study because researchers evaluate their abilities to protect data beyond traditional cryptographic methods after the implementation of quantum computing. This research investigates theoretical and practical perspectives to significantly contribute to mainstream security solutions based on quantum cryptography in the future of cybersecurity during the quantum computing period.},
