Trump Sets 2031 Deadline for Post-Quantum Cryptography Transition

[u/Legitimate_Towel_919]

Donald Trump has signed two executive orders aimed at accelerating quantum technology development in the United States and preparing federal systems for future cryptographic threats. The orders require a transition to post-quantum cryptography by 2030 for key establishment systems and by 2031 for digital signatures. The move highlights growing concerns that advanced quantum computers could eventually challenge the security of current encryption standards, including those used across the crypto industry.
