NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Update
summary
NIST finalizes FIPS 203/204/205 (Aug 2024) standardizing CRYSTALS-Kyber (KEM), CRYSTALS-Dilithium (signatures) and SPHINCS+ (hash-based signatures), plans Falcon as FIPS 206, and continues evaluation of Classic McEliece, BIKE and HQC. Public-key and signature sizes grow—TLS handshakes can balloon by an order of magnitude—so NCCoE runs a migration project with two workstreams (discovery/inventory tools and interoperability/performance), about 40 collaborators, and a US government target of 2035 migration deadline for most systems.
