Preparing for Constant Change With Quantum Agility
summary
Quantum threatens common encryption within a few years and one quantum machine can find a flaw that existing cloud CPUs then use to decrypt petabytes of archived data; migrating to NIST quantum-resistant standards is underway (four candidates in NIST’s stage‑4) but rollout varies greatly: startups ~2 years, mid‑size 5–8 years, governments 10–15 or longer. Practical fixes shown include modular crypto wrappers, vendor appliances that hot‑swap algorithms (IBM storage modules), and open projects like liboqs, but re‑encrypting large datasets and coordinating simultaneous upgrades remain the bottleneck.
