NCSC Guide on Post Quantum Cryptography timeline

Hi All

 

The national migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), mitigating the threat from future quantum computers, is a mass technology change that will take a number of years.

The NCSC recognises the need both to offer guidance on some of the early-stage migration activities, and to set some indicative timelines that UK industry, government and regulators can follow. In this guidance, the NCSC sets out some key target dates for migration activities. 

Although the core timelines are relevant to all organisations, this guidance is primarily aimed at technical decision-makers and risk owners of large organisations, operators of critical national infrastructure systems including industrial control systems, and companies that have bespoke IT. Different sectors will have different current states of cryptographic maturity, and so the weight of activities might vary across the three periods, but a focus on those headline dates is important for investment decisions and broader cyber security planning.
