THE FIRST POST-QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY STANDARDS ARE HERE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

NIST has announced the first set of standards for post-quantum cryptography: ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA. ML-KEM uses a lattice system to create a secure communication channel whereas the other algorithms are for creation and verification of digital signatures. IBM's Dario Gil urges companies to start adopting these standards now as threat actors may be stockpiling encrypted data to crack with a quantum computer, which Gil theorizes should be available within the next 10 years.
