S1E7 : Post-quantum cryptography

This episode discuss the increasing threat posed to current encryption methods by the development of quantum computers. The first source, from France-Science in USA, explains the White House’s efforts to combat this threat by transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) for sensitive communications. The source highlights the importance of PQC for national security and mentions the three new standards developed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The second source, from NIST itself, focuses on the release of these three PQC standards, which are designed to resist attacks from quantum computers. The source also discusses the importance of these standards for protecting sensitive information and encourages the adoption of PQC by organisations.
