Accelerating Adoption of Quantum-Secure Cryptography in the Real World
Our Purpose
The Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC) comes together as a community of technologists, researchers, and expert practitioners to drive progress toward broader understanding and public adoption of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and the associated National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards. The PQCC will emphasize classical cryptosystems with quantum-safe security (vs quantum solutions) to enable information security in an era of cryptographically-relevant quantum computers.

Heatmap: Current State of PQC Standards and Adoption
Last reviewed on 3/18/2025. Links to working group documents: SSH TLS 1.2 and 1.3 and DTLS X.509 and S/MIME OpenPGP IKE/IPSec DNSSEC has no currently chartered working group, but PQC in DNSSEC is an IETF research topic.
