NIST: quantum-vulnerable algorithms disallowed after 2035

Quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithms disallowed · NIST IR 8547 (draft, November 2024) · NIST

MaritimeIndustryInfrastructure United States Standard or protocol

The end point of the NIST transition: after 2035 quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithms are disallowed for US federal use. Equipment bought now for a 10 to 15 year service life will still be running then, so the algorithm agility of what you buy today decides how painful this is.

NIST Date reported, not yet checked against the official text.

What to do 0 of 3 done

Add algorithm agility to purchasing requirements for long-lived equipment
Keep a cryptography inventory current so the migration can be planned
Retire hardware that cannot be updated well before 2035
