NIST Standardization process for PQC

NIST winners and will ratify standards in 2024

• Multiple global rounds since 2015 led to NIST announcing winners in July 22 - four algorithms:
  • CRYSTALS-KYBER was chosen by NIST as the new standard for public-key encryption/KEMs
  • Falcon, CRYSTALS-Dilithium and SPHINCS+ will all be standardized for digital signatures
• There are more algorithms under consideration too, so the process continues
