Last year, the Trump administration held discussions with allies and quantum industry executives about a potential executive order that would further move up that timeline.<\/p>\n<p>National security officials have cited concerns that foreign nations could be harvesting encrypted data now in the hopes of accessing them once a quantum codebreaking computer is developed. Industry executives have also pointed to lingering concerns around China\u2019s burgeoning quantum industry as another factor making U.S. businesses and policymakers in Washington nervous.<\/p>\n<p>However, the transition to quantum-resistant encryption protocols is expected to be a massive societal task, one&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cisa-post-quantum-cryptography-procurement-guide-expert-criticism\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CISA publishes a post-quantum shopping list for agencies.
