Insider Brief
NIST is developing and promoting post-quantum cryptography standards to help organizations protect data and internet traffic from future quantum computer threats.
NIST cryptography expert Andrew Regenscheid explained that organizations need to begin preparing for PQC migration because encrypted data may already face “harvest now, decrypt later” risks.
The agency’s PQC standards process involved global research, public evaluation, and technical review to create algorithms designed for adoption across modern digital systems.
Press release – From our bank accounts to smartphones, all our sensitive data and devices are protected with a technology known as cryptography.
