Post-Quantum Cryptography Resource Hub

Welcome to NSA’s Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Resource Hub, a comprehensive database dedicated to helping Department of War, National Security Systems (NSS), and Defense Industrial Base organizations understand and adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to safeguard digital infrastructure and sensitive data. Under Executive Order XX and the Commercial National Security Algorithm, NSA requires that all new commercial NSS support quantum-resistant algorithms by 2027, with legacy systems to be phased out by 2030.

The PQC Resource Hub contains explainers, technical guidance, white papers, and more to help readers understand PQC and implement quantum-resistant algorithms.
