As cryptographic research accelerates, the looming threat of cryptanalytically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) poses a severe risk to traditional public-key cryptography. Standard algorithms like RSA and Elliptic-Curve Cryptography (ECC)—which secure the vast majority of modern enterprise APIs, JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), and TLS handshakes—will be vulnerable to Shor's algorithm. To safeguard enterprise microservices, NIST has standardized lattice-based cryptographic algorithms like ML-KEM (Ky...
