France to Stop Certifying Non-Quantum-Safe Encryption

France's cybersecurity agency ANSSI announced it will cease certifying security products lacking quantum-resistant encryption starting in 2027, with a recommendation that businesses adopt quantum-safe products by 2030. This policy applies to French government agencies and critical infrastructure operators, effectively mandating a transition from legacy encryption systems.

Why it matters: Vendors, system integrators, and organizations operating in France or serving French government and critical infrastructure must begin upgrading to post-quantum cryptography now to maintain compliance and certification eligibility by the 2027 deadline.
