Yesterday, the White House convened government and industry leaders to unveil the new National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Post-Quantum Cryptographic standards. ONCD is diligently working with our partners to prepare for the post-quantum future through the National Cybersecurity Strategy. We are supporting the implementation of NSM-10 by conducting an inventory of government systems as well as working with our allies across the international community to create a cohesive message to implement post-quantum cryptography. This work seeks to drive a collective call to action for government leaders and financial decision makers to prioritize the cryptographic transition today.
