BSI Recommends Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography by 2032
CybersecurityQuantumComputingCryptographyBSIRSAECCPost-Quantum
The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) recommends that by 2032, classical asymmetric encryption algorithms (RSA and ECC) should only be used in combination with post-quantum cryptography solutions. This measure aims to anticipate the risks posed by quantum computers, which are capable of breaking these methods. No definitive withdrawal date is specified, but a gradual transition is encouraged. Technical details on post-quantum algorithms or implementation methods are not provided.
