Cryptography Experts Predict a "Cambrian Explosion" of Standards in Response to Quantum Computing Threats

Cryptography experts are predicting a "Cambrian explosion" of standards in response to concerns about the ability of quantum computers to break current algorithms. This development is driven by the potential threat that quantum computers pose to the security of online communications. Companies like Cloudflare and IBM, along with organizations like NIST, are working on post-quantum cryptography solutions to strengthen internet security. This transition is being discussed at conferences such as RSAC 2025.
