By Eduard Kovacs
AI Summary
President Trump signed an executive order requiring all federal agencies to migrate high-value assets to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by end of 2030, and high-impact systems by end of 2031, dramatically compressing previous migration timelines. The order cites national security risks from 'harvest now, decrypt later' quantum threats and aligns with NIST's finalized PQC standards, creating compliance urgency for government contractors and critical infrastructure operators.
