"UK NCSC Issues New Guidance on Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration"
The UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has updated its guidance to help in the migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). The updated guidance builds on the NCSC 2020 white paper titled "Preparing for Quantum-Safe Cryptography." It includes advice on algorithm choices and protocol considerations following the availability of draft standards from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The "Q-Day" point, when quantum computers can break existing cryptographic algorithms such as Public-Key Cryptography (PKC), is coming.
