Seventy-one percent of responding institutions had neither conducted nor planned a test of post-quantum cryptography. The HKMA framed its 2030 goal as an aim for the whole sector and listed four first steps banks can take now.
Managing Director Chia Der Jiun said MAS will issue supervisory expectations later in 2026, with progressive timelines for cryptographic inventories, migration priorities, and the capabilities to migrate. MAS published a consultation paper with proposed timelines on November 6.
Eighty-seven percent of the 1,001 IT and cybersecurity decision-makers polled for DigiCert reported post-quantum plans or work under way. Propeller Insights ran the survey in May, before a U.S. executive order set federal migration deadlines.
Absolute promises, theorems without their conditions, quantum in a product's name, and post-quantum labels without an algorithm or certificate recur in security pitches. Each can be checked against a public standard, certificate, agency assessment, or proof.
The IESG asked for final comments on draft-ietf-tls-mlkem, an Informational specification for ML-KEM-only key agreement in TLS 1.3. Its three key-exchange groups are marked in the registry as items the IETF has not evaluated.
Executive Order 14412 set December 2030 and December 2031 post-quantum deadlines for federal agencies, and NSA dates bind national security systems. Outside those systems, the measures reviewed here would date a company's duty through a FAR rule not yet proposed.
The circuit needs fewer logical qubits than any estimate its authors compared but, in its latest version, 24 to 27 times the Toffoli gates of two earlier low-qubit designs. The authors did not estimate physical qubits or running time.
A passive copy of encrypted traffic taken from a cable, radio link, or satellite beam leaves nothing on the victim's network. Tools marketed against harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks watch for exfiltration, anomalous traffic, or quantum-vulnerable encryption instead.
Claudia Buch, who chairs the ECB's Supervisory Board, told bank chief executives that adopting post-quantum cryptography "must start now." She attached no deadline and said the ECB would address quantum risk in a separate letter.
Azure CTO Mark Russinovich cited quantum research progress and U.S. and French government actions. In its 2025 roadmap, Microsoft had aimed to complete the transition by 2033 and to enable early adoption by 2029.
