Brandon sat down with NIST mathematician Dustin Moody to unpack FIPS 203–205, the first finalized post-quantum encryption standards, and what CISOs must do before quantum harvesters arrive.
Key topics
NIST’s new lattice-based key encapsulation and signature schemes are now ready for production deployments.
Moody and Brandon explained migration timelines, crypto-agility testing, and the role of the NCCoE playbooks.
Listeners got a prioritized to-do list: inventory algorithms, stage hybrid deployments, and brief execs on PQC procurement dependencies.
