In short: Every standard and PQC deadline with its status and next milestone. Filter by body, kind or status; each item shows its key facts first and folds its milestones and sources. Filter the tracker
Information only, not compliance or legal advice. Each status, date and deadline is as its official source states it on the date read; check the publisher for the authoritative current version. A milestone that is not verified is never used in the deadlines view, the feed, the early warning or the briefings.
Standards, specifications, committees and migration deadlines on post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution and quantum technologies: ETSI, CEN-CENELEC, ISO/IEC, ITU-T, IEEE, NIST and the IETF, the EU roadmap and the national agencies, each with its status and dates, its scope, what it means for organisations and its next milestone.

Kind
Migration deadlines
Status
Published (2026-10-05). Government-wide quantum strategy presented by the Cabinet on 5 October 2026; contains the PQC migration timeline for the Rijksoverheid (reviewed annually by programme Quantumveilige Cryptografie NL)
Scope
Post-quantum cryptography
Jurisdiction
Netherlands
What it means for organisations
Sets yearly PQC migration targets for Dutch central government organisations aligned with the EU roadmap, ending with medium-risk use cases by end-2035.

Milestones, links, verification and sources
Dated milestones
: Quantum risk in risk management; own cryptography policy per Rijksbreed Beleidskader Cryptografie
: HNDL mitigations; (draft) PQC migration planning and pilots; crypto asset management; staffing and budget insight
: PQC requirements in procurement; guidance and policy for essential entities
: PQC migration of high-risk use cases completed; software and firmware quantum-safe by default (High risk)
: PQC migration of medium-risk use cases completed (Medium risk)
: PQC migration of low-risk use cases completed as far as possible (Low risk)
Verification
Verified. Strategy PDF from open.overheid.nl retrieved and text extracted; timeline box read in section 4.1.1. Presentation date read on the rijksoverheid.nl news item (5 October 2026). The document is from the Cabinet (lead ministry EZK, timeline coordinated by BZK), not from NLNCSA or AIVD; it is grouped under nlncsa as the Dutch national entry. The text says the government strives to follow this timeline and that it may be adjusted.
