Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- President Trump wrote, 'The emergence of large-scale quantum computers, and especially if they fall into the hands of adversaries, will pose a significant threat to widely used cryptographic security systems.
- To address this situation, there is a pressing need to act with a view to the 'post-quantum cryptography' world that will emerge after the development of quantum cryptography.
- In light of these threats, we must take steps to strengthen cryptographic protections for our nation's sensitive data, critical infrastructure, and digital economy.'.
- Quantum information technology will bring transformative capabilities to drive American innovation, boost economic growth, create high-paying jobs and strengthen national security.
Key claims in source B
- Within 180 days, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) must update the National Quantum Strategy with policies to support the commercialization, deployment, and private-sector partnerships.
- Within 270 days, CISA and NIST must release public guidance on minimum elements for a "cryptographic bill of materials." Procurement and Federal Acquisition.
- Although the PQC mandates apply directly to federal agencies, the FAR Council's proposed rule will extend PQC compliance obligations to covered federal contractors by December 31, 2030.
- Relevant agencies must align their processes, policies, and programs with the updated Strategy within 30 days of its publication.
