This capability provides strategic guidance for UK financial institutions to prepare for the cryptographic risks posed by quantum computing. The guidance outlines the urgency of transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and aligns with NCSC and NIST recommendations. It includes background on quantum computing and the impact to cryptography, as well as a review of PQC algorithms, a roadmap to PQC and vendor readiness. Firms are encouraged to use the guidance to enhance cryptographic inventory capabilities and develop a structured migration roadmap in order to build resilience against the impact of quantum computing.
