The National Institute of Standards and Technology has introduced 14 new digital signature algorithms as potential candidates for post-quantum cryptographic standardization, aimed at securing networks before quantum computers become prevalent.
These newly proposed algorithms are essential as they will enhance data protection against the anticipated capabilities of quantum computers, which could potentially compromise existing encryption methods.
The list of new algorithm candidates, including names like CROSS and FAEST, signals a move towards a standardized approach that prepares cryptographic measures ahead of quantum advancements.
Following a thorough evaluation spanning more than a year, these algorithms now enter the next phase of standardization, projected to last between 12 to 18 months.
