Convening to Act
Accelerating Adoption of Quantum Resistant Cryptography
March 2025
The NCF's Progress Through Partnership with the National Security Agency (NSA) is essential for staying ahead of emerging threats and ensuring the resilience of our nation's security infrastructure. Thus, the NCF, in partnership with the NSA, sponsors a series of dialogues called Convening to Act programs to identify emerging challenges in cybersecurity and cryptology. The first of these programs took place in December 2023 and explored the topic of Quantum Resistant Cryptography in Firmware, followed by QRC in Software Applications in March 2024.
The 3rd QRC-focused Convening to Act took place on 11 March 2025. See below for details. Event photos and slide presentations (if available) will be posted to this page as they become available.
