Quantum computing is poised to break some of today's popular encryption standards. Is your organization ready?

From e-commerce transactions to email security, quantum advancements threaten to upend how organizations secure information. In this episode of Cyberside Chats, Sherri Davidoff and Matt Durrin cut through the hype and explain what your organization needs to do now to prepare.

Learn:
• What encryption standards will be broken
• How post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is evolving
• Key steps to protect long-term confidential data
• How to future-proof your encryption strategy

Daniel J. Bernstein (#djb, to those who know and love him [1]) has a new blog entry about the NIST post-quantum #cryptography standardization process that's been ongoing for some years. Also, follow him @djb .

If you're not aware of some of the controversy about how NIST is running this process, it's a must-read.

https://blog.cr.yp.to/20250423-mceliece.html

My $0.02: it sure looks like NIST is backstopping an attempt by the NSA to get everyone to standardize on cryptography #standards that the #NSA knows how to break.

Again.

Yes, they did it before. If you read up on the Dual_EC calamity and its fallout, and how this time it was supposed to be different - open, transparent, secure - then prepare to be disappointed. NIST is playing #Calvinball with their rules for this contest, yanking the rug out from under contenders that appear to be more #secure and better understood, while pushing alternatives that are objectively worse (#weaker encryption, less studied, poorer #performance).

Frankly, I think organizations outside of the #USA would be foolish to trust anything that comes out of #NIST's current work. Well, those inside the USA too, but some of those may be forced by law to use whatever NIST certifies.

[1] Some people think djb is "prickly", not lovable. Oddly, it seems that the only people who say this are those who are wildly incorrect about code/algorithms and are being gently but publicly corrected about by djb at the time

About a third of the WWW #TLS traffic is using post-quantum encryption, which is protected against quantum factoring attacks such as Shor's algorithm. This has been achieved since Hybrid ML-KEM has been widely adopted by most web browsers and large service providers such as Cloudflare, Google, AWS, etc. There are no absolute figures available, but for example, Cloudflare has nice statistics about PQ encryption use on their services: https://radar.cloudflare.com/adoption-and-usage#post-quantum-encryption-adoption

The best part of this adoption is that users haven't had to do anything, or even know that this has been happening. As it should be.

Quantum Computing and the Future of Cybersecurity

I recently left my Big 4 Partner role to start Applied Quantum—the first consulting firm 100% dedicated to quantum - strategy, security, investment insights, and implementation. I wrote about this journey and why I believe organizations need real, actionable guidance on quantum, not just slide decks and buzzwords.

#NIST chose #HQC as their backup KEM and elected not to standardize #ClassicMcElice for now among other reasons pointing to the standardization with #ISO.

The argument to choose HQC over Bike is a higher confidence in IND-CCA-security of HQC. I cannot comment on whether that is a reasonable assessment, though I have no reason to doubt it, but I can say that in terms of reasons to make a choice this is of course a pretty good one.

I’m not sure how I think about the decision regarding McElice, but I can to an extend see where they are coming from.

This means there are now 9 post quantum algorithms approved, standardized or chosen for standardization by generally respected organizations:

Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (“KEMs”):

* ML-KEM (“Kyber”), based on Lattices, standardized by NIST

* HQC, based on Codes, chosen for standardization by NIST

* Classic McElice, based on codes, approved by BSI (de), ANSSI(fr), and NCSC (nl)

* Frodo, based on lattices, approved by BSI (de), ANSSI(fr), and NCSC (nl)

Signatures:

* ML-DSA (“Dilithium”), based on Lattices, standardized by NIST

* SLH-DSA (“SPHINCS+”), based on hashes, standardized by NIST

* FN-DSA (“Falcon”), based on lattices, chosen for standardization by NIST

Stateful Signatures:

* XMSS, based on hashes, standardized by IEEE

* LMS, based on hashes, standardized by IEEE

Overall, this looks like a decent portfolio. Future standardization might add schemes based on multivariate-equations and isogonies, but for now this should do and give us a basis from which we can design more efficient schemes without being to concerned about the entire ground suddenly giving in because one random guy/gal finds a new attack-vector.
