President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders aimed at expediting the federal government's transition to post-quantum encryption, with a focus on bolstering the domestic quantum computing industry. The directives instruct the government to prioritize support for this industry, as part of a broader initiative to shape the development of emerging technologies. This move is expected to impact compliance requirements for post-quantum encryption, with early adopters potentially gaining a competitive advantage. The orders come on the heels of the Department of Commerce's announcement of letters of intent for over $2 billion in funding1. This significant investment underscores the government's commitment to staying ahead of the curve in quantum computing. As a result, practitioners in the field must stay informed about the evolving regulatory landscape to ensure they are well-positioned to adapt to the changing compliance requirements. This development matters to industry professionals, as it signals a critical shift in the government's approach to post-quantum encryption and quantum computing.
