- Hashes:
- Prefer: SHA-3 or BLAKE2[^265]
- Prefer: SHA3-224, SHA-384 or BLAKE2[^265] (these are considered very Quantum Resistant based on an instance of the KECCAK algorithm), SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 (referred to as [extendable-output functions](https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/fips/202/final) (XOFs) via FIPS 202);
- Still relatively ok to use: SHA-2 (such as the widely used SHA-256 or SHA-512)
- **Most digital signature algorithms are quantum-broken**;
- Avoid: SHA-1, MD5 (unfortunately still widely used), CRC, MD6 (rarely used)
- **Highly suspicious RBGs such as MS_DRBG still exist in standards such as ISO 18031**;
- **The AES and SHA2 based DRBGs in current NIST standards are fine**
- Still relatively safe to use: SHA-2 (e.g., SHA-256 or SHA-512, which are still considered mostly quantum-safe)
- Avoid: SHA-0, SHA-1, MD5 (unfortunately still widely used), CRC, MD6 (rarely used); i.e., anything with known collisions, and/or a history of extensive, not one-off, cryptographic failures
- File/Disk Encryption:

- Password Storage:
- Prefer: Argon2, scrypt
- If these aren't options, use bcrypt, or if not possible at least PBKDF2 (only as a last resort)
- Be skeptical of Argon2d, as it's vulnerable to some forms of side-channels. Prefer Argon2i or Argon2id
- Prefer: Argon2
- If these aren't options, use bcrypt, then scrypt (in that order)
- Be skeptical of Argon2d, as it's vulnerable to some forms of side-channels. Prefer Argon2i or Argon2id.

- ED25519 (preferred) or RSA 4096 Bits*
- But refer to [Attacking Deterministic Signature algorithms](https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/1014.pdf), which details fault injections "(varying the voltage supply) - mainly a threat to tamper-proof hardware and hardware security modules" such as Rowhammer, or templating attacks, etc.
- Avoid: RSA 2048 bits
* **Warning: RSA and ED25519 are unfortunately not seen as "Quantum Resistant"**[^271] **and while they have not been broken yet, they probably will be broken someday into the future. It is just a matter of when rather than if RSA will ever be broken. So, these are preferred in those contexts due to the lack of a better possibility.**
