Sue Gordon, John Richardson, Michael Rogers Push for Post-Quantum Cryptography

Sue Gordon, former principal deputy director of national intelligence, wrote a joint commentary with U.S. Navy veterans John Richardson and Michael Rogers urging organizations to start their efforts to migrate cybersecurity procedures to post-quantum cryptography.

They warned that the “store now, decrypt later” technique could allow hackers to steal sensitive information from U.S. entities due to the possibility of quantum computers breaking public-key encryption algorithms.

Gordon, Richardson and Rogers are calling for an immediate migration to PQC protocols to secure government and industry data from cyber risks to quantum technology.
