NIST Just Rewrote the Post-Quantum Deadline. Your RSA-3072 Plan Is Out of Date
On October 27, NIST published the final version of IR 8547, Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards. If you followed the draft from November 2024, you might think you know what it says. You probably don't, because the final version changed the one thing that mattered most. The draft deprecated only the 112-bit parameter sets after 2030. That left a comfortable reading: RSA-3072, P-256 ECDSA, and Ed25519 looked acceptable until 2035. The final report closes that door. Every approved quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithm is deprecated after 2030 and disallowed under NIST standards an
