How is Node.js preparing for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and migrating RSA/ECC to NIST standards?

❓ Interview Prompt: Explain Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), quantum computing threats to RSA/ECC, OpenSSL 3+ PQC integration, and CRYSTALS-Kyber/Dilithium.

Quantum computers will eventually break current RSA and ECC public-key encryption. Node.js with OpenSSL 3+ is integrating NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards:

•
CRYSTALS-Kyber: Quantum-resistant key encapsulation.
•
CRYSTALS-Dilithium: Quantum-resistant digital signatures for future TLS handshakes.

Code Implementation Example

javascript
console.log('OpenSSL 3+ in Node.js integrates NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards');
💡Post-Quantum Cryptography readiness in Node.js.
🎯 Interview Key Takeaway

Prepare for Post-Quantum Cryptography by keeping Node.js OpenSSL 3+ versions updated for PQC algorithm support.
