NIST finalizes three post-quantum cryptography standards for data and communication protection.
The NIST has finalized three new post-quantum cryptography standards designed to protect data and communication systems from potential quantum computer attacks. This marks the first time such standards have been published. The three algorithms, which are the result of an eight-year effort, have been incorporated into Federal Information Process Standards (FIPS) and are ready for immediate use. Quantum computing technology is advancing rapidly, and some experts predict that a device capable of breaking current encryption methods could appear within a decade. The new standards will help organizations implement security measures to ensure data remains secure in a post-quantum future.
