48% of federal government cyber officials surveyed by GDIT cited legacy systems as a challenge to implementing post-quantum cryptography standards.

The cyber agency’s strategy document for PQC migration details how inventory tools should be used by agencies.

Prioritizing systems, working toward “crypto agility,” and procuring compliant tools are among the actions officials highlight for post-quantum cryptography readiness.

Three long-awaited standards from NIST are aimed at ensuring encrypted information stays encrypted in a future quantum age.

"For the first time in history, the civilian government, we have a comprehensive inventory of our asymmetric cryptography across all the agencies and their critical systems," said…

By creating these standards, NIST is moving closer to its goal of, eventually, sharing these algorithms publicly — which would allow organizations to incorporate them into their…

Federal agencies are supposed to be preparing for quantum hacking. Their progress is unclear.

Agencies are finally starting to take the threat of quantum computers to their sensitive data seriously, but the task of inventorying vulnerable systems remains daunting.

The intelligence agency expects traditional networking equipment to comply with the new standards by 2030.

Corey Stambaugh says new staff are still being trained using initial federal funds earmarked for hiring.
