Nowadays, the exchange of information through devices with different characteristics has increased greatly. This brings the need to preserve different security services in the information transmitted between them. Given that computation power continues evolving rapidly, quantum computers will become a great threat in the near future. Since such computers can perform millions of operations in parallel, they will compromise the integrity of algorithms that preserve such security services and, as a consequence, the scenarios where they are used. In this paper, we present an approach to the timeline that cryptographic algorithms maintain, providing a list of challenges that would be facing the algorithms of the future, the post-quantum algorithms.
