4th PQC Update at Fraunhofer AISEC: Race between PQC community and quantum computers heats up / 2025
Seven Key Steps Forward in Post-Quantum Cryptography

The EU plans to make digital encryption completely quantum-safe by 2035 at the latest. As quantum computers grow more and more power-ful, qbit by qbit, experts on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) have laid a basis for secure encryption in recent years with new algorithms. But if they are to win the race by 2035, they have their work cut out for them in terms of implementation in systems and communication protocols. That is the takeaway from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security AISEC’s 2025 PQC Update, which saw the Ger-man-speaking PQC community from government agencies, companies, universities and other research institutions gather for the fourth time on May 12 and 13, 2025, to talk about the current state of advancement in post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
