On July 5, 2022, the National Institute of Standards and Technology announced four possible post-quantum cryptography standards, three of them are based on lattice theory and the other one is based on Hash function. It is well-known that the security of the lattice cryptography relies on the hardness of the shortest vector problem (SVP) and the closest vector problem (CVP). In fact, the SVP is a sphere packing problem and the CVP is a sphere covering problem. Furthermore, both SVP and CVP are equivalent to arithmetic problems of positive definite quadratic forms. This paper will briefly introduce the post-quantum cryptography and show its connections with sphere packing, sphere covering, and positive definite quadratic forms.
