Following this, the draft standards will likely become the global benchmark for quantum-resistant cybersecurity across the world in 2024.

Key Points: 
  • Following this, the draft standards will likely become the global benchmark for quantum-resistant cybersecurity across the world in 2024.
  • The rise of quantum computers has led to an urgent need for new cryptographic standards to safeguard global privacy and data.
  • Dr Ali El Kaafarani, PQShield's founder and CEO, says: The release of the draft standards marks a significant turning point for PQShield and the entire cryptographic community.
  • NIST's new draft standards provide this assurance and a framework that allows everyone to move forward.

LONDON, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today announced the outcome of its post-quantum cryptography standardization project. The new draft standards are all schemes contributed to by the advisory board and researchers at PQShield, a UK-headquartered cybersecurity company specialising in post-quantum cryptography. PQShield also advised on all other algorithms developed as part of the NIST standardisation process.

Key Points: 
  • The new draft standards are all schemes contributed to by the advisory board and researchers at PQShield, a UK-headquartered cybersecurity company specialising in post-quantum cryptography.
  • PQShield also advised on all other algorithms developed as part of the NIST standardisation process.
  • Professor Peter Schwabe, PQShield advisory board member, says: "It is great to see the NIST post-quantum cryptography standardization effort come to a first conclusion today after months of anticipation.
  • Now that global cryptography standards have been announced, more companies will begin planning their transition to quantum-readiness - a trend PQShield is already witnessing first hand.
