NIST has finalized its principal set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from a quantum computer. The announced algorithms are specified in the first completed standards from NIST’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standardization project and are ready for immediate use. “The transition to quantum security will protect critical national infrastructure and make the entire technology supply chain more secure for decades – but modernizing vital security systems and components won’t happen overnight. With the threat … More
