"For the first time in history, the civilian government, we have a comprehensive inventory of our asymmetric cryptography across all the agencies and their critical systems," said…

By creating these standards, NIST is moving closer to its goal of, eventually, sharing these algorithms publicly — which would allow organizations to incorporate them into their…

Federal agencies are supposed to be preparing for quantum hacking. Their progress is unclear.

Agencies are finally starting to take the threat of quantum computers to their sensitive data seriously, but the task of inventorying vulnerable systems remains daunting.

The intelligence agency expects traditional networking equipment to comply with the new standards by 2030.

Corey Stambaugh says new staff are still being trained using initial federal funds earmarked for hiring.

Researchers on Monday proposed an attack on SIKE they say “significantly reduces” the algorithm's security by solving it with torsion.

The announcement is the culmination of a six-year, four-round competition to refine encryption formulas with the goal of including some in a new post-quantum cryptographic standard.

The award could exceed $100 million and is intended to hasten agencies' adoption of next generation encryption technology.

The advice comes ahead of NIST's expected publication of approved algorithms.
