NIST’s selection on July 5th, 2022, of first 4 post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms, while representing a key milestone towards world’s migration from classical public-key cryptography to the new PQC, raises multiple implementation questions on the “How To”. This led the National Cryptography Center of Excellence (NCCoE), NIST’s collaborative hub for industry organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions to launch on July 15th, 2002, the “Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography Project” initiative.
On October 17th, 2022, CryptoNext Security, only European industrial player to date, is proud and honored to announce that it was selected by NCCoE to join a prestigious consortium of 17 technology contributors along with Amazon Web Services, Cisco, Crypto4A Technologies, Dell, Digicert, IBM, InfoSec Global, ISARA Corporation, JP Morgan, Microsoft, Samsung SDS, Sandbox AQ, Thales DIS CPL USA Inc., Thales Trusted Cyber Technologies, VMWare and wolfSSL.
The consortium will work on “initiating the development of practices to ease migration from the current set of public-key cryptography algorithms to replacement algorithms that are resistant to quantum-computer based attacks” through various experimentations, tools or publications. This is a recognition for CryptoNext Security’s know-how and reputation.
