NIST Algorithms Finally Bring Clarity and Certainty to the Business Community

…The key takeaway from the recent NIST announcement is that the NIST algorithms finally bring clarity and certainty to the business community as they transition from algorithms such as RSA encryption to a new, tangible PQC framework…

…It had a great run, but when large scale, error-corrected quantum computers arrive, that’s it – the party’s over…

…Sadly, neither RSA nor any of today’s other public key cryptography standards, such as Elliptic Curve cryptography, can defend against a quantum attack, as Peter Shor proved in 1994 when he published a paper showing how quantum computers could break today’s public key cryptography…
