NIST is Continuing to Work on Post-Quantum-Computing Cryptography Standards
NIST is accepting proposals for public-key algorithms immune to quantum computing techniques. Details here. Deadline is the end of November 2017. I applaud NIST for taking the lead on this, and for taking it now when there is no emergency and we have time to do this right. Slashdot thread….

Whistleblower Investigative Report on NSA Suite B Cryptography
The NSA has been abandoning secret and proprietary cryptographic algorithms in favor of commercial public algorithms, generally known as "Suite B." In 2010, an NSA employee filed some sort of whistleblower complaint, alleging that this move is both insecure and wasteful. The US DoD Inspector General investigated and wrote a report in 2011. The report — slightly redacted and declassified… Continue reading Whistleblower Investigative Report on NSA Suite B Cryptography
