ProgrammesThe 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 European Innovation Council has launched a call to recruit independent experts of diverse innovative defence and dual-use technologies (as eg. maritime, medical, drones, financial expertise, ..). It is important for the EIC to have a solid batch of experts with a balanced national diversity. Note that, as a requirement and due to security sens... read more
The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
