Department of War has officially acknowledged the threat that quantum computers pose to national security and has further strengthened the federal government's policy of transitioning to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). The Ministry of National Defense announced that it plans to establish a centralized supervision system and inspect vulnerable systems, while coordinating a transition roadmap and developing PQC technology necessary for the defense sector.
