NIST announced the first finalized post-quantum cryptography standards, selecting ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber) for general encryption and ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium) and SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+) for digital signatures, with FN-DSA (FALCON) expected later; additional candidate algorithms are still under evaluation as potential backups.
