CyberScoop: Washington urged to accelerate post-quantum cryptography transition

CyberScoop published an op-ed urging Congress to speed up the U.S. transition to post-quantum cryptography. Google has set 2029 as its target for migrating, while the White House requires PQC in high-value federal systems by 2030–2031. The "harvest now, decrypt later" threat is already real, as stolen data can be decrypted once quantum machines mature.

• Google targets 2029 for its post-quantum cryptography transition
• White House requires PQC for key federal systems by 2030–2031
• NSA selected quantum-resistant algorithms for its CNSA 2.0 standard
• "Harvest now, decrypt later" lets adversaries stockpile data for future decryption
