France’s ANSSI Sets 2027 Deadline to Ban Non-Quantum-Resistant Encryption: What the World’s First PQC Mandate Means
France’s ANSSI announced it will stop certifying products without post-quantum cryptography by 2027, the world’s first hard regulatory deadline for PQC. An economic look at what the mandate means for global migration costs, vendor timelines, and the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat first detailed in the April Q Day analysis. Continue reading

Q Day Is Closer Than You Think: How Quantum Computers Will Break Encryption, the Bitcoin Attack Window, and What Organizations Must Do Now
Most experts still place Q Day in the 2030s, but in twelve months, three research papers have reduced the quantum resources needed to break RSA-2048 by a factor of more than 200. Google has set its own internal deadline at 2029. The migration window may be shorter than anyone expected. “Q Day” is not a… Continue reading
