Panel: Migrating to Post-Quantum Schemes
summary
NIST narrows candidates and names CRYSTALS-Kyber selected for key encapsulation and three signature finalists, with draft standards due next year; timeline estimates place usable quantum attacks in ~10–15 years so adversaries can store-now, decrypt-later. Real deployments use hybrid deployments mandatory mindset: experimental Google rollout since 2020 shows performance OK but causes real failures (kilobyte ciphertexts triggering a stack overflow bug on constrained devices). Panel urges slow, tested migration, favoring hashes (SPHINCS) and hybrids over single-switch risk.
