Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is advancing from theory to deployment with early implementations in identity cards and internet protocols, driven by urgency due to the impending risk of quantum computers breaking current encryption by 2030-2040. Institutions like the EU and US mandate migration timelines, while standard bodies and companies are actively integrating PQC to secure digital infrastructure.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity, and 2 sources have reported it.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must start preparing for quantum-proof encryption now to avoid losing critical data to future quantum attacks. Migrating systems is complex and slow, so early feasibility studies and adoption give you a clear market edge in secure digital identity and communications.
