White House drastically shortens deadline for dropping quantum-vulnerable crypto
摘要
美国白宫大幅缩短政府机构及组织采用抗量子加密系统的截止期限，要求“高价值资产”和“高影响系统”在2030年12月31日前过渡到后量子密码密钥建立方案，并在2031年12月31日前采用量子安全数字签名方案。新期限比此前提前约五年，原因是近期研究表明构建相关量子计算机的资源与成本远低于预期。谷歌、Cloudflare等公司已将其迁移时间表提前至2029年。
The White House is drastically shortening the deadline for government agencies and organizations to adopt new quantum-resistant encryption systems that will withstand attacks that use quantum computers, as the federal government seeks to protect decades’ worth of secrets belonging to militaries, banks, governments, and most individuals on Earth.
The executive order, titled Securing the Nation against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks, requires computing systems for “high-value assets” and “high-impact systems” to transition to post-quantum cryptographic key establishment schemes by December 31, 2030, and to quantum-safe digital signature schemes by December 31, 2031.
Heading off a significant threat
The new deadline, which for many organizations is about five years sooner than the previous one, comes on the heels of recent research showing that the resources and cost for building a cryptographically relevant quantum computer are far less than previous consensus estimates. In response, Google, Cloudflare, and other companies recently tightened their timelines for moving off vulnerable systems to 2029.
