Under Trump's executive order, OMB must require agencies to move high value assets and high impact systems to post-quantum key establishment by 2030. Contractors would face that date through a procurement rule due in proposed form by December 19.
NIST proposes keeping today's classical PIV keys and adding post-quantum ones beside them. It calls the documents preliminary working materials and is taking comments through a mailing list and GitHub with no closing date.
Let's Encrypt said nothing changes today for its subscribers. It presented both dates as targets and wrote that the transition will take time, with standards and browser root programs still unsettled.
Bernstein ran both demonstrations on his own implementation after adding each bug himself. He based his case against deploying ML-DSA alone on a statistical model of how many severe bugs new libraries will ship.
Jonas Nick of Blockstream called the design a starting point. Only signers that track which one-time keys they have used, such as dedicated signing devices, would produce the smallest signatures. Using the opcode on Bitcoin would require a soft fork.
AQTI said in a release that "research extrapolations suggest" the JVG method "will require less than 5,000 qubits" to break RSA. The preprint gives no such qubit count, and its authors called their runtime projections indicative scaling trends.
