Experts Detail Migration Scope, Timelines and Governance Gaps in Going Quantum-SafeMigrating to post-quantum cryptography isn't a weekend patch. It's one of the largest transformations an enterprise will undertake, and it will require a multi-year program spanning infrastructure, vendors, governance and policy, according to a panel of experts.

Agencies and Industry Coordinate Post-Quantum Migration PlansThe White House convened government officials, quantum companies and researchers to accelerate the transition to post-quantum cryptography, align public-private investments and reinforce a 2030 deadline as advances in quantum computing increase risks to today's encryption.

Microsoft on Tuesday said it's accelerating its quantum safe security roadmap, stating technology advances in quantum computing are making it essential to replace existing encryption standards sooner than previously expected

Microsoft has brought forward its timelines for transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC)

Today’s encrypted data, such as credentials, may no longer remain confidential in the future because the public-key cryptography protecting it will soon be broken by quantum computers. Although no machine today can break elliptic curve cryptography or RSA, quantum hardware is advancing rapidly and will inevitably change how organizations protect their data. Ciphertext and credentials captured by

With federal PQC deadlines set for 2030 and 2031, CISOs face a multi-year transformation program that most organizations have not yet started. The window for orderly execution is narrowing fast. The post What the post-quantum executive order really demands of CISOs appeared first on CyberScoop.

President Trump signed an executive order on June 22 setting hard deadlines for federal agencies to move high-value assets and high-impact systems to post-quantum cryptography

All US federal agencies will have to complete their post-quantum cryptography transition by 2031, according to a new Trump Executive Order

Healthcare organizations should prepare for post-quantum cryptography without overreacting to hype, said John Frushour, CISO of New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Stronger encryption standards, commercial software support and attention to medical devices can help providers manage emerging risks.

Bank of Ireland's Francis Gorman Shares Strategies for Successful Quantum MigrationMost organizations give the migration to quantum-safe cryptography to the CISO. But that puts a cross-business change in the wrong hands. Accountability belongs with senior leaders who can influence the whole enterprise, says Francis Gorman, head of Bank of Ireland's security center of excellence.

It May Already Be Too Late, Says AtheneThe transition to post-quantum cryptography will be a heavy lift. Experts from Germany's National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity say there's plenty that can be done in the short term to prepare for a world in which classical cryptography is no longer able to protect secrets.

‘Q-Day’ and the cybersecurity problems it brings could come as early as 2029 as Google accelerates its post-quantum cryptography migration

And THIS is why you don't knit your own home-made encryption algorithms and hope no one looks at them.

The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen the first set of quantum-resistant encryption algorithms that are designed to "withstand the assault of a future quantum computer." The post-quantum cryptography (PQC) technologies include the CRYSTALS-Kyber algorithm for general encryption, and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+ for digital

NIST pushes ahead with CRYSTALS-KYBER, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, SPHINCS+ algorithms The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recommended four cryptographic algorithms for standardization to ensure data can be protected as quantum computers become more capable of decryption.…

Panelists from an RSA Conference keynote agreed that organizations need to begin work on PQC migration, if they haven't already.

NIST may be on the brink of revealing which post-quantum computing encryption algorithms it is endorsing, solidifying commercial developments like QuProtect.

The technique, called store-now, decrypt later (SNDL), means organizations need to prepare now for post-quantum cryptography.

In the next 10 years, public-key encryption needs to be replaced by post-quantum techniques that can stand up to the new challenges.

Biden's executive order pushes new NIST quantum-cryptography standards and directs federal government to move toward quantum-resistant cybersecurity.
