…, the French National Cybersecurity Agency, to their recommendations on algorithms & hybrids:
From the webpage:
“Cryptography has seen major developments over the past few decades. Although its evolution is far from complete—as evidenced, for example, by the relatively recent emergence of new families of asymmetric algorithms presumed to be resistant to quantum threats—it appears to have reached a sufficient degree of maturity to allow for the identification of general rules regarding the correct selection and sizing of mechanisms. This document aims to clarify these rules as well as certain recommendations. […]
Although there are still situations where post-quantum security is not a requirement, the following general recommendation can be made.
RecoSécuLongTerme
If a cryptographic mechanism is expected to be in use beyond January 1, 2030, or if there is a risk of a retroactive attack on it, it is recommended to aim for post-quantum security. […]”
