US Commits to Quantum-Resistant Cryptography Across Federal Agencies
TL;DR
The White House issues an executive order mandating a federal shift to post-quantum cryptography to protect national security against quantum threats. It assigns PQC migration leads, requires HVAs and high-impact systems to migrate to PQC for key establishment by 2030 and for digital signatures by 2031, and launches a NIST pilot by 2027. The plan emphasizes cross‑agency coordination (OMB, National Cyber Director, CISA, NSA), updated procurement rules, a cryptographic bill of materials, and international engagement to accelerate PQC adoption across federal agencies and critical infrastructure.
