NIST’s new PQC Algorithms and What They Mean for Federal Agencies

The cybersecurity landscape is evolving rapidly with last week’s release of new post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These algorithms mark a critical step forward in preparing for the post-quantum era, providing a roadmap for agencies to begin their transition to quantum-resistant encryption. NIST is encouraging agencies to begin transitioning to the new standards as soon as possible.
