NIST: NIST Helps Fingerprint Examiners With New Data and Software Release. “A NIST collection of 10,000 fingerprints has now been fully annotated with details that will help train both human fingerprint examiners and AI tools. NIST has also released open-source software that can help evaluate and sort fingerprints according to their quality, potentially helping fingerprint examiners work more […]

I still have a printed copy of #NIST SP 800-81 Rev. 2 from 2013 on my shelf.
During hcG’s founding phase, while preparing a #DNSsecurity workshop, it was one of my references. In Sept. 2019, I even asked Scott Rose whether rev. 2 was still current.
For much of the broader #DNS community, there is no surprise. The value of rev. 3 is bringing today’s DNS security picture together in one document: https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/81/r3/final
«Q-Day-Vorbereitung — China arbeitet an eigenen Post-Quanten-Standards:
Peking setzt auf quantensichere Verschlüsselung und verfolgt dabei einen anderen Weg als der Westen.»
Da bin ich mal gespannt was da auf uns zukommt und ob die den NIST & Co. Standarts gleich werden oder evt. "sicherer" sind.

Quantum computers threaten to break most modern cryptography within minutes — perhaps seconds. The theoretical threat is becoming practical reality.
What stands to be compromised:
Financial systems and transactions
Government communications and classified information
Medical records and health data
Corporate trade secrets and intellectual property
Personal communications and private messages
The "harvest now, decrypt later" strategy is already in use. State actors are collecting encrypted data today, anticipating future quantum decryption capabilities.
NIST's post-quantum cryptography competition has identified promising algorithms across several approaches: lattice-based, code-based, multivariate, and hash-based cryptography. Each presents trade-offs in performance, key size, and implementation complexity.
The transition will cost billions globally. The geopolitical stakes are immense: the nation that achieves practical quantum computing first gains unprecedented strategic advantage — the ability to decrypt adversaries' communications, access protected state secrets, and undermine financial systems.
This is a quantum arms race. The winner may effectively read the digital world's thoughts.
