RIP RSA AES: The Immediate Need of Quantum-Resistant Cryptography

Sure. I’ll start with some basics to get us all up to speed. As you know, post-quantum cryptography is cryptography designed to be resistant to quantum computers. While there aren’t yet quantum computers capable of breaking the algorithms in use today, as we’ve seen above it is close enough that this is a real threat - communications harvested today might be decrypted in the relatively near future. NIST recently standardized three PQC cryptographic algorithms (August 2024): ML-KEM (CRYSTA…
