Trump Executive Order Sets 2030–2031 Deadlines for Federal Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration
By
The Hacker News
Summary
President Trump signed Executive Order 14409 on June 22, setting hard deadlines for federal agencies to migrate to post-quantum cryptography. Key establishment must be completed by December 31, 2030, and digital signatures by December 31, 2031. The urgency stems from the "harvest now, decrypt later" threat, where adversaries collect encrypted data today to decrypt once quantum computers become viable. National security systems are on a separate compliance track.
