Finalist Quantum Computer Resistant Algorithms Selected in Long Standardization Process | NextBigFuture.com

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is working with many companies and researchers to provide security for financial information and privacy when there are quantum computers powerful enough to break current encryption. They have selected 26 post-quantum algorithms after one year of testing in the second round of a massive selection process. The goal of post-quantum cryptography is to develop cryptographic systems that are secure against both quantum and classical computers and can interoperate with existing communications protocols and networks. Post-quantum cryptography is also called quantum-resistant cryptography. It is not clear when a large-scale quantum computer will be built.
