The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has confirmed three algorithms co-developed by IBM Research, which are used to protect sensitive infrastructure and data from attacks by bad actors using Quantum Computers to break the existing encryption.
As we have discussed before in these pages, the cryptography used in every computer in the world will need to be updated, and soon, to be safe from the power of cryptographically relevant quantum computers to break security. IBM has been helping its clients make cryptosystems resilient for the quantum era by establishing cryptographic agility, or crypto-agility for short.
The US NIST has now approved three of the new algorithms being used. Crypto-agility means that a system, platform, application, or organization can...
