SandboxAQ today introduced an open-source cryptography management framework built for the post-quantum era. The AI and quantum spin-out from Alphabet uses the Sandwich framework for the Cryptoservice module in its SandboxAQ Security Suite, currently used by several U.S. government agencies, global banks, telcos, and tech companies. The framework is designed to simplify cryptography management and […]

I just read an article complaining that NIST is taking too long in finalizing its post-quantum-computing cryptography standards.
This process has been going on since 2016, and since that time there has been a huge increase in quantum technology and an equally large increase in quantum understanding and interest. Yet seven years later, we have only four algorithms, although last week NIST announced that a number of other candidates are under consideration, a process that is expected to take “several years.
The delay in developing quantum-resistant algorithms is especially troubling given the time it will take to get those products to market. It generally takes four to six years with a new standard for a vendor to develop an ASIC to implement the standard, and it then takes time for the vendor to get the product validated, which seems to be taking a troubling amount of time…
