NIST previews post-quantum cryptography challenges -- GCN
May 03, 2021 Since 2016, NIST has been working with researchers to develop cryptographic algorithms that will be strong enough to resist the privacy and security threats quantum computers will pose. While those new algorithms will likely be ready before quantum computers are widely used, the transition from today’s standards to the new post-quantum public-key standards “is likely to be more problematic than the introduction of new classical cryptographic algorithms,” the paper states. “In the absence of significant implementation planning, it may be decades before the community replac...
