Ressources
We have collected some ressources of importance for our work here.
- BSI (German Federal Office for IT-Security) Nationale Umsetzung der EU-Roadmap zur Umstellung auf Post-Quanten-Kryptografie The expected detailed specification of the EU roadmap for the PQC transition confirms the timelines (planning by the end of 2026 for critical infrastructure, implementation for critical infrastructure by 2030, and by 2035 for all other systems).
- White House Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks (Executive Order 14412) US roadmap for the quantum safe migration of critical systems, high-value-systems etc. Migration is to be completed by end of 2030.
- BSI (German Federal Office for IT-Security) Kryptographische Verfahren: Empfehlungen und Schlüssellängen The recommendations on encryption now give clear deadlines for PQC migration (2032 in general, 2030 for critical infrastructure). Classical asymmetric encryptions deemed deprecated.
- BSI (German Federal Office for IT-Security) Status of quantum computer development Yearly updated look at the status of quantum computing with respect to cryptographic relevance (“Q-Day”). Current estimate: 10-15 years (down from 20) due to important breaks-throughs in der error correction.
- EU NIS Cooperation Group A Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography EU recommendations for PQC migration in the EU member states: First steps by 2026, high risk applications completed by 2030, everything else by 2035.
- NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) NIST Releases First 3 Finalized Post-Quantum Encryption Standards The multi-year challenge to standardize post quantum encryption algorithms has concluded the work on its first three standards so that implementation following these standards can now be implemented.
- EU Commission Recommendation on a Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for the transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography The EU commission recommends it member states to migrate their IT to quantum safe state. For this, a subgroup shall be formed under the NIS Cooperation Group.
- IT security agencies from Germany, France, Sweden and the Netherlands Position Paper on Quantum Key Distribution This common position of the security agencies of four countries puts QKD clearly in a “observe it, but don't use it now” category.
- US-Präsident Memorandum: Migrating to Post-Quantum Cryptography Requires all federal agencies to create an inventory of all their IT systems with cryptographic functions and to reserve budgets for a PQC migration.
- BSI (German Federal Office for IT-Security) Kryptografie quantensicher gestalten Summarizes the need for quantum-safe encryption and the (then) current state of the technology.
