New draft cryptography guidance from the NIST. Lots of deprecations that won’t surprise. https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/131/a/r3/ipd The advice on signatures is interesting: if you have 112 bits of security then you should be safe for a while, and instead of merely transitioning to 128 you should jump to post-quantum as soon as that’s feasible.
