Preparing the United States for Post Quantum Cryptography
summary
U.S. policy now ties HR 7535 and White House memos to concrete timelines: a 90-day inventory requirement for agencies, an NIST NCCoE migration project launched summer 2021, and a GSA RFI that seeds a vendor list. Workstreams focus on a discovery tool to find and prioritize quantum‑vulnerable keys and on standards interoperability. NSA issues aggressive deadlines for national‑security systems, while the PQC forum (≈2,500 members) and Fed testing programs wrestle with which discovery tools to buy and how to validate new algorithms.
