In this Special Edition podcast, N2K's Executive Editor Brandon Karpf speaks with Dustin Moody, mathematician at NIST, about their first 3 recently finalized post-quantum encryption standards.

NIST finalized a key set of encryption algorithms designed to protect against future cyberattacks from quantum computers, which operate in fundamentally different ways from traditional computers. Listen as Brandon and Dustin discuss these algorithms and how quantum computing will change the way we view encryption and cyber attacks in the future.
