NIST Draft Document on Post-Quantum Cryptography Guidance

Post Syndicated from Bruce Schneier original https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2023/05/nist-draft-document-on-post-quantum-cryptography-guidance.html

NIST has released a draft of Special Publication1800-38A: “Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography: Preparation for Considering the Implementation and Adoption of Quantum Safe Cryptography.” It’s only four pages long, and it doesn’t have a lot of detail—more “volumes” are coming, with more information—but it’s well worth reading.

We are going to need to migrate to quantum-resistant public-key algorithms, and the sooner we implement key agility the easier it will be to do so.
