Check out my latest CSO column that discusses how the TSA is revising its pipeline security directive again.
The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) announced four new algorithms that can help protect federal computers and systems from hacking threats powered by quantum computing.
One algorithm is for general encryption purposes (CRYSTALS-Kyber), and the other three are for digital signatures and identity verification (CRYSTALS-Dilithium, Falcon, and Sphincs+). CRYSTALS-Kyber, Crystals-Dilithium, and Falcon are lattice-based algorithms. The NSA has already said that it also intends to select a lattice-based solution for its own next-generation encryption.
