IDC Planscape: Quantum-Safe Cryptography for Government

This IDC PlanScape focuses specifically on quantum-safe cryptography solutions. It discusses the importance of quantum-safe cryptography for government organizations considering advancements in quantum computing. It highlights the potential threats posed by quantum computers to current cryptographic systems and the need for post-quantum cryptography to secure sensitive information and safeguard government resources. The document also outlines the new standards released by NIST and provides guidance for organizations to transition to quantum-resistant cryptography to protect national security and critical infrastructure. “Proactively transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptography helps mitigate risks and maintain the integrity and confidentiality of government data in the quantum computing era,” said Aaron Walker, research manager, Government Trust and Resiliency Strategy, at IDC.
