Post-Quantum Cryptography
Cryptographic algorithms designed to remain secure against attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum computers, which are expected to be able to break widely used current algorithms like RSA and ECC. NIST has begun standardizing post-quantum algorithms, and organizations with long-lived sensitive data are starting 'harvest now, decrypt later' risk planning around the transition.
