Trump Order Sets 2030 Deadline for Federal Post-Quantum Crypto Migration

President Trump signed executive orders requiring federal agencies to migrate high-value assets and high-impact systems to post-quantum cryptography. Key establishment must be completed by December 31, 2030, while digital signatures must transition by December 31, 2031. These mandates require replacing classical signature schemes with NIST-standardized algorithms for all systems handling federal data. While national security systems follow a separate track, Bitcoin remains excluded from this list, raising concerns regarding its reliance on ECDSA and the secp256k1 curve.
