Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threat?

Adversaries are currently intercepting and storing encrypted financial communications and wire data. When cryptanalytically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) become operational, this stored data will be decrypted retroactively. PQC must be implemented immediately to protect long-term financial secrets.

How does Post-Quantum Cryptography differ from Quantum Key Distribution?

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) uses classical mathematical problems (like lattice-based cryptography) that quantum computers cannot solve, running on standard existing hardware and internet cables. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) uses quantum physics (photons) over dedicated fiber lines to establish encryption keys.

What is the expected timeline for mandatory PQC compliance?

Major regulatory bodies (including the US Treasury/Fed, Monetary Authority of Singapore, and European Banking Authority) have set milestones for cryptographic inventory and transition beginning in 2025–2026, targeting full deprecation of legacy algorithms by 2030–2033.
