NIST names industry collaborators for post-quantum cryptography project

NIST has selected a dozen technology companies as collaborators in a highly touted “Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography Project,” an initiative cited by the White House as a top technology and national security priority.

“In our initial phase, these collaborators will work with the NCCoE to demonstrate the use of automated discovery tools to identify instances of quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithm use, where they are used in dependent systems, and the function they support,” NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence said in...
