Government is beginning to take an active role in preparing and protecting our federal networks for uncertain, quantum times. Recent mandates like National Security Memorandum 8 (NSM-8) and 10 (NSM-10) requiring the adoption of quantum-resistant algorithms by all federal agencies, the signing of the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act into law, and the release of the National Cybersecurity Strategy speaks to the urgency of the threat and the need to act now.
Preparing the nation's digital infrastructure for the post-quantum future is no simple task. Cryptography is complex, always changing, and difficult to manage. This will only intensify as the quantum era nears and legacy encryption must be replaced with NIST approved, post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms that carry their own set of challenges, risks, and uncertainties.
To help ease this burden, Quantum Xchange has created the Government Resource Center.
Here government agencies and partners can find useful assets, expert opinion, and technical how-tos for meeting the Government’s immediate and long-term data protection requirements.
Ensure your communication links are future-proof and your critical data protected. Access the Government Resource Center to get started.
