ChuckDBrooks · x · 2026-10-28
NIST has released "Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards" (NISTIR 8547), a high-level roadmap for organizations migrating to post-quantum standards.
Key points:
- Follows the PQC standards NIST released in August 2024, designed to withstand future quantum computer attacks
- Identifies existing quantum-vulnerable cryptographic standards and the quantum-resistant replacements
- Describes timelines and migration activities for federal agencies, serving as a key resource for technology providers and organizations developing quantum-readiness roadmaps
