Financial institutions must adopt post-quantum cryptography by 2035

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Financial institutions are facing a mandatory transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) due to the threat quantum computers pose to current encryption methods. PQC, which relies on mathematical problems resistant to quantum algorithms, can be implemented on existing hardware and integrated into current protocols like TLS and IPsec. NIST has already finalized initial PQC standards, with plans to phase out vulnerable algorithms by 2035, necessitating a migration of legacy systems that may require significant software rewrites. Hybrid schemes, combining classical and PQC algorithms, are being adopted as a transitional measure. AI

IMPACT Accelerates adoption of quantum-resistant cryptography, impacting secure data transmission and long-term data storage for all digital services.
