Description

Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, Government Technology Agency of Singapore, and Infocomm Media Development Authority closes consultation on draft guidance on quantum-safe migration

On 31 December 2025, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA), the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech), and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) close the consultation on a draft guidance on quantum-safe migration. The guidance notes that future quantum computers could compromise current public-key cryptography and offers voluntary recommendations to support organisations in planning a phased transition to quantum-safe systems. It advises conducting risk assessments, identifying vulnerable cryptographic assets, and establishing governance structures for migration. It also notes that post-quantum cryptography is the main approach, with quantum key distribution applicable in limited cases, and encourages staff training and vendor engagement.
