Post-Quantum Migration Guidance Finalized: Start with Cryptographic Assets and Suppliers
NIST has finalized IR 8547 on migration to post-quantum cryptography. Organizations should map long-lived sensitive information and cryptographic dependencies to prioritize migration.
## Source summary
NIST released final report IR 8547 on moving from quantum-vulnerable cryptography to post-quantum standards. It addresses migration targets, timelines and supply-chain considerations. Information requiring long-term protection may warrant priority because encrypted data collected today could be decrypted in the future. Federal-system timelines should not be interpreted as statutory deadlines for every Korean company.
## TABS Company's business perspective
Begin by inventorying cryptography and suppliers supporting certificates, VPNs, digital signatures and business systems, alongside data retention periods and replacement cycles. In procurement and renewal discussions, request suppliers' PQC plans and define interoperability and performance testing.
