About this tag
The nist-fips tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cryptographic standards and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliance, particularly in the context of Microsoft's quantum-safe transition. Recent content focuses on Microsoft's Quantum Safe Program, which outlines a roadmap for migrating SymCrypt, Windows, Azure, and Microsoft 365 to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2033. The program aligns with NIST's PQC standards and aims for early production deployments by 2029. Topics include enterprise migration strategies, cryptographic agility, and the integration of FIPS-validated modules into Microsoft products to meet government and industry security requirements.

    Microsoft's Quantum Safe Program: From PQC Testing to Enterprise Migration by 2033

    Microsoft’s public roadmap for a quantum‑safe future is no longer a research manifesto: it’s a multi‑year engineering and procurement plan that maps how SymCrypt, Windows, Azure, Microsoft 365 and silicon will evolve to resist the cryptanalytic power of future quantum computers. The company has...
