    Hi All,

    The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has published for comment Preliminary Draft NIST SP 1800-38A, Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography. 

    Advances in quantum computing could compromise many of the current cryptographic algorithms being widely used to protect digital information, necessitating replacement of existing algorithms with quantum-resistant ones. Previous initiatives to update or replace installed cryptographic technologies have taken many years, so it is critical to begin planning for the replacement of hardware, software, and services that use affected algorithms now so that data and systems can be protected from future quantum computer-based attacks. 

    The public comment period for this draft closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on June 8, 2023.
    1.    View the publication.
    2.   Submit comments via the webform on the project page: https://www.nccoe.nist.gov/crypto-agility-considerations-migrating-post-quantum-cryptographic-algorithms
    3.    Email questions to [email protected].
    All comments that are received will be reviewed and adjudicated to inform a future draft of the publication.
