The Timeline for Post Quantum Cryptographic Migration
A Position Paper on the Financial Sector's Global TransitionThis white paper provides insights for regulators, supervisors, and financial institutions on the significance of establishing a global transition timeline for the financial sector’s migration to post quantum cryptography (PQC), along with key considerations for its implementation.
Written by a team of experts in multiple organizations and countries, including FS-ISAC's Post Quantum Cryptography Working Group, members of the Quantum-Readiness Working Group (QRWG) of the Canadian Forum for Digital Infrastructure Resilience (CFDIR), and the Quantum Safe Financial Forum, the white paper aims to:
- Promote consensus within the financial sector on the need for coordinated action among key stakeholders.
- Establish agreement on the steps needed to develop such coordination.
- Foster and facilitate collaboration by identifying the interdependencies and complexities of the migration and building a framework for collective, proactive engagement.
