Tech companies are split on how quickly to adopt post-quantum cryptography, with some moving aggressively to prepare for future quantum threats while others are delaying changes. The concern is that encrypted data collected today could be decrypted later once quantum computers become powerful enough, increasing pressure to act sooner rather than later.

The harvest now decrypt later problem is the real issue here

This transition is going to be messy no matter what

Exactly what I was thinking. Ask me again in six weeks.

NIST finalising the standards is the moment things need to accelerate from.

Couldn't agree more. Yeah I get that.

Thanks for that.
