## Summary

**Modernize federal and critical infrastructure systems with post-quantum cryptography upgrades.** This bill would create a federal framework that sets roles, timelines, standards, and pilot programs to help agencies and industry deploy quantum-resistant encryption. - Federal agencies: Requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology to publish guidance within 180 days and the Office of Science and Technology Policy to deliver a National Quantum Cybersecurity Upgrade Strategy within 360 days. The strategy would define which quantum computers are cryptographically relevant, set urgency criteria for upgrades, and require automated data inventory baselining. - Critical infrastructure and partners: Establishes a voluntary Post-Quantum Pilot Program to help eligible sector risk management agencies, federal agencies, and mission partners upgrade high-impact systems. The program would aim to upgrade at least one high-impact system within 18 months and provide initial and annual reports on actions and support. - Standards, procurement, and industry support: Directs NIST guidance to include procurement and interoperability standards, selection criteria, and support for industry-led testing through the Quantum Economic Development Consortium. It defines post-quantum cryptography to include lattice-based digital signatures and lattice-based key encapsulation per NIST FIPS guidance and aligns upgrades with zero-trust architecture principles.
