Key facts
- According to the official White House website, Trump issued Executive Orders 14409 and 14411 on Monday
- Meanwhile, EO 14411, "Ushering In the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation", established a roadmap for the U.S. to utilize the commercial and research benefits of quantum information science
- Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of War shall identify at least three next-generation quantum sensor projects to prioritize to field these sensors by September 30, 2028
- For this transition, the order set hard deadlines, it mandated that all high-value assets and high-impact systems transition to PQC for key establishment by the end of 2030 and PQC for digital
Summary
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders to accelerate America's quantum innovation while protecting the country from quantum computing threats. EO 14409, titled "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks," focuses on mitigating the threats posed by large-scale quantum computers to current encryption standards. "The advent of large-scale quantum computers, particularly in the hands of adversaries, will pose a significant threat to widely used cryptographic security systems," the order said. The order directed federal agencies to transition key information systems and high-value assets to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-approved Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
