New Cryptographic algorithms have been Released.

At an age where the world was trebling with the raise of new technological advancement such as Quantum Computing, it was seen that the current cryptographic algorithms could not stand the computing power that would arise with them. This meant that all the previous efforts that the world put was going to waste in terms of cryptographic algorithms. RSA, EC-DSA, EC-DH, and other cryptographic algorithms were all going to be vulnerable in one way or another.
So back in 2016, NIST issued an open call for proposals and algorithms solutions that would replace the current ones. They received 82 proposals from 25 countries across 6 continents were analyzed and evaluated to find the most resilient methods of which this project was an open project bringing together some of the best cryptographic minds in the world. Out of these the top 15 were chosen which 7 finalists and 8 alternative solutions that require additional refinement or being tailored for specific usage.

Now in 2024 we now have our top 3 standards that will be used to secure our systems from the power of quantum computing. And these are:-
ML-DSA
ML-KEM
SLH-DSA

Let's not forget the power of AI is growing and we can not underestimate that when it comes to cracking our algorithms.

What do think of these new standards? Can they keep up with the Emerging AI giant? That's a question for both of us to solve.
