Ultra-secure encryption algorithm added to ISO standard for Asymmetric Ciphers Classic McEliece is first PQC algorithm to achieve global standardization Organisations in 177 ISO member states can now adopt Classic McEliece to remain secure from attack by both classical and quantum computers Governments including Germany and the Netherlands already recommend the highly secure Classic McEliece algorithm due to its unmatched security credentials It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges it is known that adversaries are stealing encrypted data now, which can be decrypted later - also known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL). Google’s recent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimise Shor’s algorithm reduces the number of physical qubits required to break today’s encryption, therefor
