A new framework helps banks sort urgent post-quantum crypto work from the rest
Financial institutions now have a concrete method for deciding where post-quantum cryptography belongs on their security roadmaps. New research coordinated by Europol sets out a scoring framework that helps banks rank systems and business use cases based on quantum risk and the time required to migrate them. The goal is practical prioritization, and the paper is aimed at security teams that need to move from planning into execution.
The research responds to a growing operational problem. Public key cryptography underpins payments, authentication, websites, and backend systems across financial services. Quantum computing threatens many of the algorithms in use today. Large institutions cannot update every system at once, and…
