U.S. federal agencies have required the development of inventories, risk assessments, and migration strategies, all aligned with a long-term post-quantum cryptography (PQC) timeline spanning the coming decades.
Canada is already encouraging organizations to begin inventorying and planning efforts now, with the rollout of standards-based post-quantum cryptography (PQC) expected to start in 2025–26.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE), including Dubai, has required government bodies and critical industries to transition to post-quantum security, following the approval of its National Encryption Policy and related executive regulations in late November 2025.
The Australian government is targeting a full transition to quantum-resistant standards by 2030. The focus is currently shifting from high-level planning to active implementation, with a steady rollout scheduled across the remainder of the decade.
South Korea: Standardized domestic algorithms (KpqC) with a phased transition roadmap from 2025–2035.
New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and other nations: Developing guidance and planning steps to move towards quantum-safe cryptography in the future.
EU (2026 Strategy): Coordinating a cross-border roadmap guided by ENISA to align all member states under a single PQC framework.
UK (Long-term Migration): Prioritizing immediate cryptographic discovery, with full-scale implementation spanning the next decade into the early 2030s.
