NSA Mandates Quantum-Resistant Cryptography for National Security Systems

The National Security Agency (NSA) has announced new measures to protect National Security Systems (NSS) from future quantum computing threats. Aligning with Executive Order 14412, the initiative focuses on developing post-quantum cryptography resources and mandates that all new commercial NSS support quantum-resistant algorithms by 2027. Legacy systems must transition by 2030, safeguarding critical national security infrastructure.
