Australia Urges Immediate Action on Post-Quantum Cryptography as CRQC Threat Looms

The ISM recommends ceasing the use of traditional asymmetric cryptography by the end of 2030. This includes cryptographic algorithms such as the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), Diffie-Hellman (DH), Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) primitives.

ECDSA is the lowest-hanging fruit for quantum computers in crypto, making post-quantum cryptography essential for the future.
