Everything that NIST is offering the world in terms of post quantum cryptography is based on an unsubstantiated assumption as to the nature of the pending quantum attack (Quantum capability is developed in stealth), and in summary NIST defense proclaims no mathematical proof of efficacy. Worse: it admits the likelihood for superior mathematical insight to compromise each and every NIST recommended post quantum candidate. For non-American users there is also the nagging question, does the NSA install a backdoor on these NIST candidates?
Given this intrinsic vulnerability of the prevailing mathematical complexity approach, it is incumbent on the executive branch to prepare for the eventuality that the deployed ciphers fail. Mind you -- if the cipher is cracked, changing the key would do no good.

What else is there?
BitMint. We designed a Post-Quantum-Recovery capability that is ready to kick in in the event of a post quantum catastrophe. The patent-protected, peer-reviewed BitMint solution is immunized against smarter mathematicians, and it rests on a mathematical proof of efficacy.
If your shop is society critical you need to be able to recover fast from a catastrophic cyber collapse. You may want to use the time when the winds are calm to install BitMint - Quantum Recovery.
If you ever need to activate BitMint-QR you will be relieved that you overcame your hesitation and invested in getting ready.
BitMint-QR is delivered complete, ready to be integrated (by you, or by BitMint) into your quantum defense posture. You may test it monthly. The package comes with full training and diligent support.
