France to Stop Certifying Non-Quantum-Safe Encryption

France's cybersecurity agency ANSSI will stop certifying security products without quantum-resistant encryption from 2027, forcing government bodies and critical operators to shift to post-quantum encryption. This move is a significant step in France's transition to quantum-safe encryption, with businesses expected to adopt only quantum-safe products by 2030. This policy change will effectively phase out older encryption systems. Engineers should prioritize purchasing quantum-safe products to comply with the new regulations. This shift is crucial for ensuring the security of French government agencies and critical infrastructure.
