NIST Releases Guidelines for Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published NISTIR 8547, 'Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards,' providing a high-level roadmap for organizations to migrate from quantum-vulnerable algorithms to quantum-resistant standards. This report outlines official timelines and approaches, particularly for federal systems, to address the 'harvest now, decrypt later' threat.
