The article reports that White House and NIST officials are urging federal agencies to test post-quantum cryptographic algorithms on production systems to avoid interoperability and implementation failures, highlights collaboration among federal agencies and vendors for migration and testing, and notes past implementation vulnerabilities (such as a CRYSTALS-Kyber side-channel finding) while emphasizing the uncertainty about when quantum-capable attackers may emerge.
