QuSecure Joins NIST NCCoE Consortium on Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration
Corporate Business News Sponsored by Business Watch Global
SAN MATEO, Calif., April 4, 2026 (VSNewsNetwork.com) — Cybersecurity company QuSecure has announced it is collaborating with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) as part of the Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography Project Consortium.
The consortium aims to raise awareness of the challenges involved in migrating from current public-key algorithms to quantum-resilient algorithms and to develop practices to support that transition.
According to the company, quantum computers capable of breaking public-key cryptography pose a threat to existing information systems. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed standardized quantum-resistant algorithms to protect digital information. Organizations are expected to identify vulnerable public-key algorithms across hardware, software and services and prioritize migration to NIST post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.

“Public-key cryptography is widely used to protect today’s digital information. With the advent of quantum computing, and its potential to compromise many of the current cryptographic algorithms, it is critical that organizations begin to plan for many of the technological and operational challenges that a migration to post-quantum cryptography will present. This project aims to help organizations in that effort,” said William Newhouse, Security Engineer at the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence.
As a contributing member of the consortium, QuSecure will collaborate with vendors focused on automated cryptography discovery and inventory and post-quantum cryptography tools. The company will test solutions in NCCoE lab environments to identify capability gaps and improve migration strategies. The company stated it will also share technical expertise and deployment challenges to support interoperability, implementation performance and coordination with standards bodies and industry sectors.
“This collaboration with the NCCoE brings industry leaders together to tackle one of today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges – the transition to post-quantum cryptography. By working across government, industry, and academia, we can help organizations identify quantum-vulnerable systems, manage risk, and prepare for a secure, quantum-resilient future,” said Garfield Jones, Senior Vice President of Research & Technology Strategy at QuSecure.
The project’s initial scope includes demonstrating the use of automated discovery tools to identify widely deployed quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithms and manage associated risks. Additional goals include improving migration strategies, interoperability and implementation performance, as well as outreach to standards development organizations and industry sectors.
The NCCoE, part of NIST, was established in 2012 in partnership with the State of Maryland and Montgomery County, Maryland, and serves as a public-private collaboration hub for cybersecurity solutions.
