Does FIPS 140-3 cover post-quantum algorithms?

Direct Answer

As of mid-2025, NIST was working to incorporate PQC algorithms into the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) under FIPS 140-3. Federal agencies and contractors requiring FIPS 140-3 validated modules should monitor NIST CMVP announcements for validated PQC module availability. Verify current validation status for specific algorithms directly with NIST.
