Week in review: NIST selects HQC for post-quantum encryption, 10 classic cybersecurity books

Here’s an overview of some of last week’s most interesting news, articles, interviews and videos: NIST selects HQC as backup algorithm for post-quantum encryption Last year, NIST standardized a set of encryption algorithms that can keep data secure from a cyberattack by a future quantum computer. Now, NIST has selected a backup algorithm that can provide a second line of defense for the task of general encryption, which safeguards internet traffic and stored data alike. …
