NIST starts the countdown to retire quantum-vulnerable encryption
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a roadmap for moving to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), with earlier deadlines for certain sensitive federal systems. The report, Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (NIST IR 8547), explains which cryptographic methods need to be replaced, what organizations should consider and how the transition will unfold. It builds on the post-quantum cryptography standards NIST released in August 2024. Those standards provide new ways to protect information against … More
