Preparing for the Quantum Future: A Practical Guide to the NCSC Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Roadmap

The threat posed by future quantum computers is no longer theoretical. When these machines arrive (or sooner) today’s encryption systems will be at risk, as quantum algorithms such as Shor’s could break widely used public-key schemes. Experts speak of a looming “Q-Day”, and the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has set out a clear, phased PQC roadmap we should all act on now.
