The fast evolution of quantum computing is shaking up the very basis of digital security. Protocols that are used to secure data today may be vulnerable in the future when quantum computers become available. In this shifting terrain, NIST compliance is now considered a hallmark of trust, security, and lasting crypto agility. Governments, enterprises, and technology vendors around the world are converging their security approaches around the standards produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). At the core of this changeover is post-quantum cryptography (PQC), a family of cryptographic algorithms engineered to be quantum attack resistant. But introducing post-quantum algorithms is not the full story. These algorithms may not have NIST compliance and may lack credibility, ability to interoperate, and proven security. This article discusses why NIST compliance is not simply a good idea but essential for post-quantum cryptographic algorit...
