Summary
In the future, in many cases it will be algorithms developed by us at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy in Bochum that will be used to protect your data. The American National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) announced in July which cryptographic methods it will standardize to protect communications from future quantum computer cyberattacks. As Group Leader at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy, I was involved in the development of three of the selected procedures. Most online services use the methods standardized by NIST.
