As quantum systems continue to advance, agencies must take appropriate countermeasures to protect sensitive data against cyber threats with cutting-edge encryption methods. To reduce current and future exposure to risk, the Public Sector requires organizations to safeguard high-value assets by implementing a comprehensive quantum-readiness strategy in preparation for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

 

Carahsoft, The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, supports Federal, State and Local agencies, as well as Healthcare organizations and Education institutions as they migrate to quantum-proof encryption algorithms. With an extensive portfolio of quantum solution providers, Carahsoft can help your agency identify and acquire the best-in-class software and services to achieve compliance with the Government's post-quantum cryptography initiative.

Preparing for Post-Quantum Cryptography

 

As cryptanalytically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) capabilities become a risk to Public Sector infrastructures, seamlessly facilitating the adoption of quantum-resistant cryptographic technology is more imperative than ever. Protect your organization against cyber and quantum attacks by integrating quantum-safe encryption within existing network infrastructures to harden traditional VPN communication and implement symmetric, pre-shared keys for post-quantum cryptography.

NIST's Quantum-Resistant Encryption Standards

 

NIST divides encryption protocols into two main functions: general encryption, which safeguards data transmitted over public networks, and digital signatures, used for verifying identities in digital transactions. NIST has approved four Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms to establish robust security measures for various digital applications. Among them, CRYSTALS-Kyber's general encryption algorithm is notable due to its efficient key exchange and operational speed. For digital signatures, NIST selected CRYSTALS-Dilithium as the primary choice, with FALCON offering shorter signatures and SPHINCS+ serving as a unique backup option due to its distinct mathematical approach.
