The majority of Federal agencies are still in the early stages of transitioning to post quantum cryptography (PQC), with only seven percent of agencies saying they have a formal PQC plan and project team in place, according to research out today by GDIT. […]
Automating cryptographic assets, assessing tools, and shifting to data-centric inventories are among the top strategies that Federal government agencies should be pursuing to protect their data in the run-up to maturity of quantum computing, according to Garfield Jones, associate chief of strategic technology at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). […]
As Federal agencies begin their transition to quantum-resistant encryption, Federal officials on Thursday stressed that creating cryptographic agility – meaning the ability to operate agile systems where cryptography elements can be easily changed as needed – will become an even bigger technology issue than the coming changes in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) itself. […]
By Kaniah Konkoly-Thege, Chief Legal Counsel, SVP Government Relations at Quantinuum A lot has taken place in the quantum industry since the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced its selection of PQC algorithms for standardization in 2022. From technology to global policy, advancements are causing experts to predict a faster timeline to reaching fault-tolerant […]
The President’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC) announced during its quarterly meeting today that the group plans to study the government’s national preparedness for its transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). […]
By: Dr. Matthew McFadden, Vice President of Cyber, GDIT The cybersecurity landscape is evolving rapidly with last week’s release of new post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These algorithms mark a critical step forward in preparing for the post-quantum era, providing a roadmap for agencies to begin their […]
