NIST Selects HQC As Backup Algorithm For Post-Quantum Encryption

Vol 324 · Issue 2 · 2025-03-12

Last year, NIST standardized a set of encryption algorithms that can keep data secure from a cyberattack by a future quantum computer. Now, NIST has selected a backup algorithm that can provide a second line of defense for the task of general encryption, which safeguards internet traffic and stored data alike.
