Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure: A Roadmap for the Quantum-Safe Transition of Global Financial

Sept. 3, 2025
  • The framework aligns with U.S. federal directives including NSM-10, the Executive Order of January 2025, and CNSA 2.0, mandating a full migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2035 for federal systems, with implications for financial institutions handling sensitive or investor-related data.
  • PQFIF supports compliance with SEC cybersecurity rules and SAB 121 by integrating quantum-safe protections into digital asset custody systems, ensuring legal finality, investor data confidentiality, and auditability for public companies and investment advisers.
  • The framework includes a multi-jurisdictional compliance engine that maps and reconciles regulatory requirements across the U.S., EU (DORA, MiCA), and Asia-Pacific, enabling legally valid cross-border operations and mutual recognition of quantum-safe standards.
