NIST Guides Firms Through £1bn Post-Quantum Crypto Shift
United States’ NIST is driving the international response to the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) threat, publishing a series of standards – notably SP 1800-38A through C and IR 8547 – to guide organizations through the complex migration process. These publications, alongside complementary reports from bodies like Singapore’s DGX working group and the European Union’s regulatory framework established by the 2019 Cybersecurity Act, signal a coordinated, global effort. Experts estimate that full PQC implementation will require over $200 billion in upgrades to existing infrastructure over the next decade, necessitating immediate preparation and cryptographic discovery as outlined in the NIST guidance.
