NIST Approves Quantum-Resistant Crypto | Gestalt IT Rundown: July 6, 2022
NIST has announced their selections for quantum-safe encryption algorithms. The competition has been running since 2016 when the standards body realized that quantum computing could potentially impact RSA-based public key encryption. The new encryption method, CRYSTALS-Kyber, as well as digital signature methods named CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+, are designed to be implemented in the coming years for highly senstive data that could come under attack from advanced threats as well as the inevitable future of a powerful factoring system like a quantum computer. Are we all going to…
