Cracking the Code: Understanding the Shift Towards Post-Quantum Cryptography
Abstract
In December of 2016, NIST called for proposals to standardize quantum-secure cryptographic primitives. We discuss the current finalists (CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+) as well as break down their respective approaches/structures.
