The National Quantum Cybersecurity Migration Strategy Act of 2025.

# The National Quantum Cybersecurity Migration Strategy Act of 2025 — Summary **What It Would Do:** This bill would require the federal government to develop a comprehensive strategy for protecting computer systems and data from future threats posed by quantum computers. Quantum computers—which operate fundamentally differently from today's computers—could potentially break many of the encryption methods currently used to secure sensitive information. The bill directs government agencies to plan how to transition to new, quantum-resistant security technologies before quantum computers become powerful enough to pose a real threat. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions:** The bill primarily affects federal agencies and government cybersecurity efforts. It would require coordination between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Security Agency (NSA), and other relevant agencies to create a migration plan.

This includes setting timelines for updating vulnerable systems, identifying which government data needs the highest priority protection, and ensuring critical infrastructure like power grids and financial systems are prepared for this transition. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill (S. 2558) is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator Gary Peters (D-Michigan) in the 119th Congress. The bill has not yet advanced to a floor vote.
