Bill Summary

A bill to require the Subcommittee on the Economic and Security Implications of Quantum Information Science to assess possible migration by Federal agencies to post-quantum cryptography, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a comprehensive strategy for federal agencies to transition to post-quantum cryptography, which is a form of encryption designed to be secure against potential attacks from quantum computers. The bill requires the Subcommittee on the Economic and Security Implications of Quantum Information Science to develop a National Quantum Cybersecurity Migration Strategy within 180 days, which includes defining a "cryptographically relevant quantum computer," recommending standards for identifying such computers, and assessing the urgency of cryptography migration for different federal agencies. The strategy must outline a four-stage migration process covering preparation, data inventory, implementing cryptographic solutions, and monitoring migration success. Additionally, the bill mandates a pilot program requiring each sector risk management agency to upgrade at least one high-impact system to post-quantum cryptography by January 1, 2027. The Office of Electronic Government will survey federal agencies about migration costs, verify the information, identify necessary resources, and provide advice on encouraging private sector adoption. The bill also requires annual reports to Congress detailing the progress and challenges of transitioning to post-quantum cryptography, with the Comptroller General conducting assessments of federal agencies' migration efforts.
