To protect against the anticipated quantum computer threat to contemporary public key cryptography, the transition to post-quantum cryptographic algorithms has begun. We give an update on the state of NIST’s post-quantum cryptography standardization project, the current guidance for transitioning to these algorithms, and an expected timeline for completion of the transition. To give an insight into the kind of issues that might be encountered during a transition, we will also demonstrate our experience transitioning an end-to-end encrypted messaging protocol to use post-quantum algorithms.
