How PQShield left its mark on every NIST algorithm
Team PQShield contributors Dr Thomas Prest (co-author of Falcon) and Prof Peter Schwabe (co-author of Dilithium, KYBER, and SPHINCS+) share their insights on the NIST process, the future of cryptography, post-quantum challenges, fostering innovation and more.
Team PQShield’s Role in the NIST Standards
Curating the right team of experts, why keeping things simple is sometimes the best solution, and the future of post-quantum cryptography.
NIST round four and the new call for proposals
NIST standardization surprises, the renewed attention on BIKE, SIKE, Classic McEliesce and HQC, plus predictions for round four.
The industry impact of NIST’s standards announcement
The urgency around deployment, what makes an algorithm resistant to quantum computers, adoption challenges and looking ahead to standardizing protocols.
PQShield’s position in the global cryptography community
The benefits of collaboration, how the NIST standards brought the cryptography community together, and the ideal work environment.
Putting your best foot forward
Post-quantum cryptography is a complex mathematical field. It gets our team excited, but we realise there’s a lot to digest. Understanding the basic issues is a vital first step towards a quantum-secure future – but if you want to know more, our team is available to provide more detailed advice, tailored to your specific business needs.
