Those algorithms, developed over a decade by NIST and independent cryptologists, are designed to protect against future attacks from quantum computers.<\/p>\n<p>While Google has said it is on track to migrate its own systems ahead of the 2035 timeline provided in NIST guidelines, last month leaders at the company teased an updated timeline for migration and called on private businesses and other entities to act more urgently to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the federal government, there is no mandate for private businesses to migrate to quantum-resistant encryption, or even that they do so at all. Adkins and Schmieg said the hope is that other businesses will view Google\u2019s aggressive timeframe as a signal to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a pioneer in both quantum and PQC, it\u2019s our responsibility to lead by example and share an ambitious timeline,\u201d they wrote. \u201cBy doing this, we hope to provide the clarity and urgency needed to accelerate digital transitions not only for Google, but also across the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moving up Google\u2019s internal timeline to 2029 \u2013 more ambitious than the U.S. federal&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/google-moves-post-quantum-encryption-timeline-to-2029\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google moves post-quantum encryption timeline up to 2029 https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/google-moves-post-quantum-encryption-timeline-to-2029\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-25 17:45:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-227652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227652"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227652\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
