On August 13th NIST announced that three algorithms had been approved as official standards for PQC.

8 月 13 日，NIST 宣布三种算法已被批准为 PQC 的官方标准。

Cue a big sigh of relief, and SIKE's removal from the list of contenders for PQC.

人们长舒了一口气，SIKE 从 PQC 竞争者名单中被除名了。

This involves layering existing, conventional cryptography with PQC.

这涉及将现有的传统加密技术与 PQC 分层。

And because switching over to them will take years, the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) needs to begin as soon as possible.

由于切换需要数年时间，因此需要尽快开始向后量子密码学 (PQC) 的过渡。

IBM has made a PQC software update for its Z series mainframe computers, for example, which are still widely used in many industries.

例如， IBM 为其 Z 系列大型计算机进行了 PQC 软件更新，该系列计算机仍在许多行业中广泛使用。

This can act as an insurance policy for organisations required by regulators to adopt PQC but worried that it may not be totally secure.

对于监管机构要求采用 PQC 但又担心其可能不完全安全的组织来说，这可以作为一种保险政策。

For a typical large company, says Mr Crowder, 80% of the job of switching to PQC will be handled by vendors providing upgrades and patches.

克劳德先生说， 对于一家典型的大公司来说，80% 的 PQC 转换工作将由提供升级和补丁的供应商负责。

Adoption of the new NIST standards should go ahead, he says, but large organisations should aim to be " crypto-agile" as they switch to PQC.

他表示， 新的 NIST 标准应该继续采用，但大型组织在转向 PQC 时应该力求实现“加密敏捷” 。
