Lattice-based cryptography, NIST PQC standards, quantum-safe payments, and the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat. Research notes, open-source libraries, and migration playbooks for financial-services security teams.
A banking index for quantum-safe readiness in 2026, covering NIST post-quantum standards, cryptographic inventory, crypto-agility, QKD, and long-lived data exposure.
Quantum cryptography in 2026 is no longer a debate about whether quantum computers are imminent. It is a migration programme across post-quantum cryptography, crypto-agility, quantum key distribution assurance, protocol standards, supplier readiness, and long-lived financial data that is already exposed to harvest-now-decrypt-later risk.
Quantum risk has moved from research curiosity to active regulatory mandate. With the G7 roadmap published in January 2026, the EU, UK, and ASD timelines clarified, and the BIS Project Leap proving feasibility at the central-bank level, the question for boards is no longer whether to migrate — it is whether the migration can be completed before the cryptographic shelf-life of today's data expires.
Shor's algorithm may now run on as few as 10,000 qubits. RSA, ECC and the timeline for post-quantum migration are all moving up. Here's why.
Quantum computing threatens payment system cryptography. The EPAA white paper outlines the structural risk and the urgent case for PQC migration.
