NIST intends to release a draft HQC standard in 2026 for public feedback, aiming for finalization in 2027. Meanwhile, organizations are encouraged to adopt the 2024 standards. Last year, NIST standardised several encryption algorithms, including ML-KEM, to secure data against potential future quantum computer attacks, addressing general encryption needs like internet traffic and stored data protection. HQC, demanding more computing resources, is selected for its robust security features, although it will not replace ML-KEM but serve as a supplementary option. This selection is part of NIST’s ongoing efforts since 2016 to prepare for quantum computing challenges, ensuring a comprehensive defence strategy through diversified mathematical foundations.
