UK urges critical orgs to adopt quantum cryptography by 2035

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has published specific timelines on migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), dictating that critical organizations should complete migration by 2035. The new guidance aims to provide a structured migration plan with specified milestones for all organizations to follow. It will also serve to highlight the real security risks of falling behind. "Quantum computing is set to revolutionize technology, but it also poses significant risks to current encryption methods," stated NCSC's CTO, Ollie Whitehouse. "Our new guidance on post-quantum cryptography provides a clear roadmap for organizations to safeguard their data against these future threats, helping to ensure that today's confidential information remains secure in years to come. "As quantum technology advances, upgrading our collective security is not just important – it's essential." The NCSC's PQC migration guidance primarily impacts government agencies, large enterprises, criti ... Read full article.
