CISA, NSA and NIST Publish New Resource for Migrating to Post-Quantum Cryptography   

Summary:

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), National Security Agency (NSA), and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have published a factsheet to raise awareness about the impending impact of quantum computers on cryptographic systems. The agencies urge organizations, particularly those supporting critical infrastructure, to begin planning for migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards. NIST is developing PQC standards, with the first set planned for release in 2024. The factsheet provides guidance on creating a quantum-readiness roadmap, inventory, and risk assessment to prepare for the transition.
