Transition to quantum-safe cryptography
- Based on historic examples (like SHA1→SHA2 or DES→AES), transitions of cryptographic algorithms takes decades
- NIST standards for post-quantum cryptography will be available soon
- “The Commission, ENISA, EDPS and EDPB should play an important role in spurring this transition now, by explaining in joint guidance what taking “appropriate” security measures under the different regulatory regimes (GDPR, NIS2, etc.) means, in the view of the development of quantum computers.” �– Letter MEPs by Bart Groothuis et al. on 12-3-2024
