Programmes Security CybersecurityThe European Commission has published a Recommendation on Post-Quantum Cryptography to encourage Member States to develop and implement a coordinated approach towards post-quantum cryptography.
Quantum technologies can bring many economic and societal benefits, but advances in quantum computing are expected to also make it easier for malicious actors to access sensitive data.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is one of the solutions to continue to protect communications for the security of our citizens, societies, economies and the EU's digital single market. PQC is based on mathematical problems that are difficult even for quantum computers to solve. As a software-based solution, it is compatible with existing infrastructures in several sectors, and can thus be deployed relatively swiftly.
The recommendation will help Member States develop a consistent strategy to migrate towards more secure ways of protecting their digital infrastructures, promoting interoperability between countries, and allowing seamlessly functioning systems and services across borders.
Stakeholders planning to submit project proposals on PQC in the future should demonstrate awareness with the content of this recommendation.

The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
