NIST Releases First 3 Finalized Post-Quantum Encryption Standards | NIST
NIST is encouraging computer system administrators to begin transitioning to the new standards as soon as possible.| NIST
Short URL: https://www.nist.gov/pqcrypto For a plain-language introduction to post-quantum cryptography, go to: What Is Post-Quantum Cryptography? The initial public draft of NIST SP 800-227, Recommendations for Key-Encapsulation Mechanisms, is now...| csrc.nist.gov
The NIST Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) provides validation testing of Approved (i.e., FIPS-approved and NIST-recommended) cryptographic algorithms and their individual components. Cryptographic algorithm validation is a prerequisite...| csrc.nist.gov
Approved Algorithms Currently, there are two (2) Approved* block cipher algorithms that can be used for both applying cryptographic protection (e.g., encryption) and removing or verifying the protection that was previously applied (e.g., decryption): AES...| csrc.nist.gov
Cryptography that uses two separate keys to exchange data — one to encrypt or digitally sign the data and one to decrypt the data or verify the digital signature. Also known as public-key cryptography.| csrc.nist.gov
NIST is encouraging computer system administrators to begin transitioning to the new standards as soon as possible.| NIST
Welcome to the CMVP The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) is a joint effort between the National Institute of Standards and Technology under the Department of Commerce and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, a branch of the Communications...| csrc.nist.gov
