The UAE Cyber Security Council and the Advanced Technology Research Council signed an agreement to accelerate the country’s transition to post-quantum cryptography and strengthen national cyber resilience. The agreement aims to support the deployment and expansion of cybersecurity solutions developed within the ATRC ecosystem that facilitate the transition, including a platform for cryptographic discovery, inventory management, and vulnerability assessment; an Entanglement-Based Quantum Key Distribution technology; and national cryptographic libraries incorporating both classical and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. In addition, the agreement includes national training and preparedness programs, as well as initiatives designed to assist organizations in carrying out the transition in accordance with standards developed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology and other relevant standards.
