Cryptographic Inventory
& Management Solutions for Government

Worldwide Momentum

Governments worldwide are increasingly recognizing the critical need for enhanced cryptographic governance, driven by the looming quantum threat. The potential for quantum computers to break current encryption methods has accelerated efforts to modernize cryptographic standards and practices. National and international standards organizations, like NIST, are issuing new standards for quantum-resistant algorithms, while legislative bodies are enacting laws to mandate post-quantum cryptography adoption.

This global push for cryptographic agility and resilience is not just about mitigating future risks; it's also addressing current vulnerabilities and ensuring long-term identity and data protection across public and private sectors.

• The European Commission advises critical infrastructure owners to switch to Post-Quantum Cryptography as swiftly as possible.

• Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada stresses the importance of the timely development and adoption of quantum-resistant cryptography.

• The Monetary Authority of Singapore issued an advisory recommending financial institutions to identify and maintain an inventory of cryptographic solutions and determining those which are potentially vulnerable and need to be replaced with quantum-resistant alternatives.

• Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology is evaluating the security of PQC against both classical and quantum computers and monitors computer performance and security parameters.

• The British National Cyber Security Centre provides migration to post-quantum cryptography guidance, including a roadmap to quantum-safe security, including NCSC-recommended algorithms.

• NIST and other US agencies are leading the PQC charge, already requiring agencies to submit annual inventories of cryptography and releasing finalized PQC standards.
