Australia Prepares For CRQC With Post-Quantum Cryptography

The ACSC/ASD guidance urges organizations to begin transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) due to the future risk posed by cryptographically relevant quantum computers, providing a timeline (plan by end-2026, begin implementation by 2028, complete by 2030), the LATICE framework (Locate, Assess, Triage, Implement, Communicate), recommendations to build a Cryptographic Bill of Materials, use ASD-approved PQC algorithms, caution against relying on QKD or hybrid PQ/T schemes long-term, and encourages alignment with international standards bodies.
