Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks
This executive order mandates a nationwide transition of federal information systems and critical infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by specific deadlines (2030 for key establishment, 2031 for digital signatures), directs NIST to lead technical guidance and a pilot project, requires agencies to appoint PQC migration leads, and orders the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to propose rules requiring contractors to comply with NIST PQC standards by 2030.
National Security Presidential Memorandum/NSPM-12
This memorandum rescinds previous national security directives and re-establishes the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) to enforce baseline cybersecurity standards across all National Security Systems (NSS) operated by the Department of War, Intelligence Community, and Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies. It creates binding directives and complementary standards that must meet or exceed NIST guidelines, empowers the NSA Director as the National Manager to issue emergency directives and cryptography requirements, and holds agency heads accountable through government-wide oversight.
