Quantum computers are rapidly increasing the ability for high-performance computing, and the new standards are ready for immediate use, NIST said. "Quantum computing technology could become a force for solving many of society's most intractable problems, and the new standards represent NIST's commitment to ensuring it will not simultaneously disrupt our security," said Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director Laurie E. Locascio, in a statement.
From the Federal Register: After three rounds of evaluation and analysis, NIST selected four algorithms it will standardize as a result of the PQC Standardization Process. The public-key...
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released the first three encryption standards designed to resist future cyberattacks based on quantum computing technology. [...]
NIST has finalized its principal set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from a quantum computer. The announced algorithms are specified in the first completed standards...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology today released the long-awaited post-quantum encryption standards, designed to protect electronic information long into the future - when quantum computers are expected to break existing cryptographic algorithms. The finalized standards include three post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.
A recent paper from Tsinghua University raised doubts about lattice-based cryptography for PQC, though an error was found. This has sparked questions about the strength of soon-to-be-standardized PQC algorithms.
On April 10, Yilei Chen from Tsinghua University in Beijing posted a paper describing a new quantum attack on that shortest-path lattice problem. Adi Shamir, the "S" in RSA and a 2002 recipient of ACM's A.M. Turing award, described the result as psychologically significant because it shows that there is still a lot to be discovered about quantum cryptanalysis of lattice-based algorithms.
