Trump Order Sets 2030 Deadline for Federal Post-Quantum Crypto Migration
By [email protected] (The Hacker News)
AI Summary
President Trump signed Executive Order 14409 on June 22, 2026, mandating that federal agencies migrate high-value assets and high-impact systems to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by December 31, 2030, with digital signatures required to follow by December 31, 2031. The order dramatically shortens previously understood timelines and leaves national security systems on a separate track. Organizations with federal contracts or data-sharing agreements should treat this as a forcing function for their own PQC roadmap planning.
