EU financial-sector firms must demonstrate operational resilience (incl. ICT third-party risk) — including cryptographic posture.

2025-12-31 · US-NSA

NSA target for new National Security Systems software & firmware to start adopting CNSA 2.0 (Kyber, Dilithium, SHA-2) algorithms.

2026-06-30 · DE-BSI

Annual BSI cryptographic-recommendation refresh — flagged deadline for hybrid (classical + PQC) roll-out in regulated DE.

2027-12-31 · US-NSA

Networking, VPN, and key-management products on NSS networks should fully support CNSA 2.0 algorithms.

2030-12-31 · US-NIST

NIST recommended sunset for classical public-key crypto in federal systems — full PQC migration target.

2033-12-31 · US-NSA

All NSS systems must be using CNSA 2.0 PQC algorithms exclusively.

@CISAgov

Reminder: NSA's CNSA 2.0 timeline is in effect. New software for NSS should now be adopting Kyber, Dilithium, and SHA-2.

@NIST

FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), 204 (ML-DSA) and 205 (SLH-DSA) are now the standards. Migration windows are short for high-value targets.

@matthew_d_green

Harvest-now-decrypt-later isn't a scenario, it's an active intelligence program. The ECDSA signatures you commit today are tomorrow's plaintext.

@hashedout

Bitcoin's quantum exposure isn't a 2040 problem. ~25% of circulating supply sits in P2PKH addresses with exposed pubkeys. Q-Day day-one targets.

@SchneierBlog

If your security architecture cannot survive the public release of CRYSTALS-Kyber breaks, you needed PQC yesterday.

@a16zcrypto

Wallet providers shipping PQC migration paths in 2026 will own the institutional custody narrative for the next decade.
