NIST Identifies Quantum-Resistant Encryption Algorithms

Still worries about how quantum decryption will alter security.

NIST Identifies Quantum-Resistant Encryption Algorithms

Nextgov, Alexandra Kelley, July 5, 2022

Officials from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the first four quantum-resistant encryption algorithms, dubbed Crystals-Kyber, Crystals-Dilithium, Falcon, and SPHINCS+. The announcement marks the start of the final phase of NIST's research into the development of a post-quantum cryptographic standard to shield digital information against quantum hacking. U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said NIST's achievement means "we are able to take the necessary steps to secure electronic information so U.S. businesses can continue innovating while maintaining the trust and confidence of their customers." NIST director Laurie E. Locascio said this initial slate of quantum-resistant algorithms "will lead to a standard and significantly increase the security of our digital information."  ... '
