Quantum computers pose a significant threat to information security, and both the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) and the National Security Agency (NSA) agree that the best mitigation against it is post-quantum cryptography. The NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Project began in 2016, and is now in its third and final selection round.

In early 2022, NIST will announce final, official standards, and within two to three years, we can expect these to become a requirement for anyone working with the U.S. government, and likely in other critical fields. PQShield is a leading contributor to the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process.
