It can also be integrated with other applications for use across industries. KnowledgeLake delivers new AI-powered content management solutions NIST releases draft standards for post-quantum cryptography While some organisations are underway with their post-quantum preparedness plan, others have been waiting on the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to provide additional guidance and release the standards for quantum-safe algorithms. In late August 2023, the agency made a first major move by releasing the draft standards for post-quantum cryptography (PQC), which will be required for organisations to protect their data from the quantum threat. Further to that, NIST, along with both the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and the National Security Agency (NSA), provided a factsheet with guidelines and urgency around the need to integrate PQC solutions immediately. We’re now better able to understand what needs to be done, and that it needs to begin now.
