President Trump signed EO 14409, ordering federal agencies to migrate high-value assets and high-impact systems to post-quantum cryptography on a fixed schedule, tightening U.S. government defenses against harvest now, decrypt later risk. The order sets December 31, 2030 for key establishment and December 31, 2031 for digital signatures, while leaving national security systems on a separate track. It also pushes OMB, NIST, CISA, and the FAR Council into follow-on guidance, inventory, pilot, and contractor-rule work.

    Federal agencies and contractors get a post-quantum cryptography migration timetable

    Initial Disclosure

    The order advances the government-wide PQC timeline ahead of the prior 2035 target and aligns key establishment with FIPS 203 ML-KEM, while digital signatures map to FIPS 204 ML-DSA and FIPS 205 SLH-DSA. It directs OMB to issue 90-day guidance, gives the FAR Council 180 days to propose contractor rules, tasks NIST with a pilot migration by December 31, 2027, and tells CISA and NIST to define cryptographic bill of materials elements within 270 days.
