It’ll still be a while before quantum computers become powerful enough to do anything useful, but it’s increasingly likely that we will see full-scale, error-corrected quantum computers become operational within the next five to 10 years. This has given rise to post-quantum cryptography algorithms and on Tuesday, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published the first set of standards for post-quantum cryptography: ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA.
