France to halt certification of security products without post-quantum cryptography from 2027
France plans to phase out existing cryptographic systems to prepare for the era of quantum computers. From 2027 it will stop certifying security products that do not apply post-quantum cryptography, and by 2030 it aims to steer government agencies and critical infrastructure operators to adopt only quantum-resistant products. The move is linked to concerns about “Q-Day” and “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, and is expected to accelerate quantum-risk discussions in blockchain and cryptocurrency.
