UK Cybersecurity Agency Urges Adoption of Post-Quantum Cryptography to Combat Future Quantum Hacking Threats by 2035

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) advises organizations to implement post-quantum cryptography to safeguard against quantum hacking threats.

  • Quantum computers can solve complex mathematical problems underlying current encryption methods.

  • The NCSC recommends critical infrastructure operators and businesses with custom IT systems adopt post-quantum cryptography.

  • Organizations should identify services needing updates by 2028, complete major updates by 2031, and fully migrate to new encryption by 2035.

  • This guidance aims to protect sensitive data from future quantum computing threats.
