Post-Quantum Cryptography in FIPS 140-3: Status and Roadmap

Learn about the current state and future of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) validation in FIPS 140-3 through this 32-minute technical talk presented by Jonathan Smith, Senior FIPS Tester at DEKRA. Explore the Cryptographic Module Validation Program's (CMVP) approach to algorithm and module validation for PQC algorithms, including plans for accelerating module validation through automation. Gain insights into the specific 140-3 requirements for implementing PQC algorithms within modules, and understand how government requirements like NSA's Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 (CNSA 2.0) extend beyond CMVP's baseline standards.
