About

PQCinformation.com is the practical resource for the professionals who have to implement, justify, and pay for the transition to post-quantum cryptography.

In August 2024, NIST published its first finalised post-quantum cryptography standards — FIPS 203, 204, and 205. The migration clock is now running. Compliance deadlines are emerging across financial services, healthcare, federal contracting, and critical infrastructure. The question for most organisations is no longer whether to act on PQC — it is how, at what cost, and on what timeline.

Most PQC content is written by and for cryptographers. PQCinformation.com is different. Every article is written for the people who are actually responsible for making decisions: compliance officers navigating regulatory requirements, CISOs building migration roadmaps, finance teams estimating budget, procurement teams evaluating vendors, and board advisors trying to understand the risk.
