"NIST Releases First 3 Finalized Post-Quantum Encryption Standards"

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized its principal encryption algorithms that can withstand the cyberattack of a quantum computer. Researchers worldwide are racing to develop quantum computers that could break the encryption used today to provide security and privacy for nearly all online activities. The announced algorithms are specified in the first completed standards from NIST's post-quantum cryptography standardization project, and are ready for use. Quantum computing technology is advancing quickly, and some experts expect a device that can break current encryption to emerge within a decade, threatening the security and privacy of individuals, organizations, and nations. This article continues to discuss NIST's release of a final set of encryption tools designed to withstand the attack of a quantum computer.
