[$] NIST finalizes post-quantum encryption standards


On August 13, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
<a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/news/2024/postquantum-cryptography-fips-approved" rel="nofollow">
published</a> the final form of its new post-quantum cryptographic standards. One
key-exchange mechanism and two digital-signature schemes are now officially
sanctioned by the institute. Adopting the new standards should be fairly
painless for most developers, but the overhead added by the schemes could pose
challenges for some applications.
