After much anticipation, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued its first Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards today. They are intended to defeat efforts by quantum computers powerful enough to decrypt data and communications that have been encrypted mostly using the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) cryptosystem. This is significant step forward and expected to prompt a flood of new tools and products to implement the new standards.
