Quantum Computers: The Future Is Almost Here: On Tuesday, a small, rather unknown federal agency chose the first group of encryption tools that could safeguard everything from U.S. government communications to private emails to the banking systems from hacking.
Defending Against the Super Computer
In 2016, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) began a competition for encryption tools that would be able to withstand the powers of a quantum computer.
The NIST chose the following algorithms: CRYSTALS-Kyber for general encryption (secure websites and protect information exchanged in public networks) and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS for digital signatures (how to verify identities in digital transactions).
