QUANTUM THREAT INTELLIGENCE
NIST published the final IR 8547, Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards, on October 27, 2026. RSA, ECDSA, EdDSA, Diffie-Hellman and elliptic curve key agreement at 112 bits of security are deprecated after 2030 and disallowed under NIST standards after 2035, with ML-KEM-768 the recommended default for key establishment. Vendors selling into Canadian utilities, carriers and governments will now be measured against a final NIST schedule that lines up with Canada's ITSM.40.001 dates.
Every advance in quantum computing shortens the window for migrating long lived infrastructure off quantum-vulnerable encryption, and data captured today can be decrypted later. Fabric Networks helps energy, government, telecom and community networks move to quantum-safe encryption on their own timeline, not an adversary's.
