The NIS Cooperation Group has launched a survey to ask for feedback to help guide the next steps towards a quantum-safe European digital infrastructure. Following the publication of the “Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)” (https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/coordinated-implementation-roadmap-transition-post-quantum-cryptography), the Work Stream on PQC of the NIS Cooperation Group is now working on the… Read more »
To counter the risk, the BSI is focusing on information and the gradual migration to quantum-safe procedures. Based on the EU roadmap published in June 2025 (“Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography”), the German government is aiming to develop a national roadmap for the “transition to post-quantum cryptography”. More information: https://www.bundestag.de/presse/hib/kurzmeldungen-1102528 Origin:… Read more »
Every organization managing information technology (IT) systems must migrate cyber security components to become quantum-safe. This will help protect against the cryptographic threat of a future quantum computer. The Cyber Centre recommends the adoption of standardized post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to mitigate this threat. This publication outlines the Cyber Centre’s recommended roadmap for the Government of… Read more »
Quantum computers may in the future break today’s widely used encryption. This paper provides a framework to support the financial system in the transition to quantum-safe cryptographic infrastructures. It emphasises the need to start the transition today – with broad awareness and cryptographic inventory as critical foundations. While post-quantum cryptography offers a viable near-term solution,… Read more »
To kick-start this migration, the bill initiates a pilot program that requires every federal agency to convert at least one high-impact system to quantum-secure encryption. It also requires the ESIX subcommittee to assess which systems need urgent attention, identify standardized performance benchmarks for agencies’ migration efforts, and establish a clear definition of what constitutes a… Read more »
EUCC, the European Union Cybersecurity Certification by ENISA published guidelines supporting the EUCC scheme (the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme on Common Criteria) providing recommendations regarding the cryptographic mechanisms that should preferably be used in ICT products submitted to certification. The document is primarily addressed to developers and evaluators. This update refers back to the ECCG… Read more »
As reported by https://www.infoq.com/news/2025/07/k8s-quantum/ , Published on July 28th by Matt Foster Kubernetes 1.33 now supports post-quantum cryptography for TLS via hybrid key exchange algorithms that combine classical and quantum-safe encryption. This leverages Go 1.24’s support for cyber-based algorithms and complies with NIST recommendations for future-proof security. The update increases the crypto agility of Kubernetes… Read more »

The USENIX Security Symposium brings together researchers, practitioners, system programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the security and privacy of… Read more »
Project Leap aims to prepare the central banking community for the challenges posed by emerging quantum computers, which may be able to break the cryptographic algorithms widely used today to secure financial transactions and data. The BIS Innovation Hub Eurosystem Centre has launched the second phase of Project Leap together with Bank of Italy, Bank… Read more »
