📋 Tender Overview
The Office of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia for Information Security (URSIV) has prepared the Slovenian version of the document Plan of the European Union for post-quantum cryptography - frequently asked questions, which is related to the European plan for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The European document has already been translated and published by URSIV.The FAQ document further explains the key contents of the European plan, in particular assessing quantum risk, prioritizing the transition to PQC, preparing an inventory of cryptographic assets, integrating the supply chain, cryptographic flexibility and planning for quantum secure upgrades.
Special emphasis is placed on the risk of store today, decrypt later scenarios, where attackers can intercept encrypted data today and decrypt it in the future, when a sufficiently powerful quantum computer is available. Therefore, the document highlights the importance of timely planning, constant monitoring of risks and the gradual introduction of quantum-safe solutions.
The material is important for those liable under the Information Security Act (ZInfV-1), public administration bodies, providers of critical infrastructure and other organizations that must include the transition to post-quantum cryptography in the long-term management of cyber risks.
The document also explains the connection of the EU PQC Plan to European legislative frameworks such as the NIS 2 Directive, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Cyber Security Act (CSA) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
By preparing the Slovenian version of the document, URSIV contributes to a better understanding of European guidelines and to the timely preparation of organizations for future challenges in the field of information and cyber security.
