This report describes NIST’s expected approach to transitioning from quantum-vulnerable cryptographic algorithms to post-quantum digital signature algorithms and key-establishment schemes. It identifies existing quantum-vulnerable cryptographic standards and the quantum-resistant standards to which information technology products and services will need to transition. It is intended to foster engagement with industry, standards organizations, and relevant agencies to facilitate and accelerate the adoption of post-quantum cryptography.
