Title: 会计与金融中的量子计算与网络安全：保障会计与金融系统的当前及未来挑战与机遇

Abstract: Quantum computing is revolutionising information systems and will have a significant impact on accounting and finance, especially in the area of cybersecurity. It presents both opportunities and risks in ensuring confidentiality and protecting financial data. The purpose of this thesis is to show the application of quantum technologies in accounting cybersecurity, utilising quantum algorithms and QKD to overcome the limitations of classical computing. The literature review reveals the vulnerabilities of the current accounting cybersecurity to quantum attacks and the need for quantum-resistant cryptographic mechanisms. It elaborates on the risks associated with conventional encryption in the context of quantum capabilities. This study contributes to the understanding of how quantum computing can revolutionise accounting cybersecurity by enhancing quantum-resistant algorithms and utilising quantum key distribution (QKD) in accounting. The study employs PSALSAR systematic review methodology to ensure rigour and depth. The analysis shows that quantum computing enhances encryption techniques to superior possibilities than classical ones. Using quantum technologies in accounting minimises data breaches and unauthorised access. The study concludes that quantum-resistant algorithms and quantum key distribution (QKD) are necessary for securing the accounting and finance systems of the future.
