After years of review, the National Institute of Standards and Technology officially picked the world’s first three post-quantum encryption algorithms as the basis for its post-quantum security strategy: ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA.
NIST first asked cryptographers to develop these new standards in 2016, when the threat of quantum computers started becoming a reality. Quantum computers are expected to be able to break common encryption algorithms used today, such as RSA.
