"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. Some security experts believe Q-Day will arrive within the next decade, potentially exposing all digital information under current encryption protocols. Therefore, the security community is working to understand, build, and implement cryptographic encryption capable of withstanding future post-quantum threats and attacks. This article continues to discuss the NCSC's updated PQC migration guidance.
