France will stop certifying non-quantum-safe cryptographic products starting in 2027.

According to Reuters, France’s National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) announced it will stop certifying security products lacking quantum-resistant encryption capabilities starting in 2027 and advised enterprises to procure only quantum-safe products by no later than 2030. As ANSSI certification is a key prerequisite for French government agencies and critical infrastructure operators when adopting such products, this move will effectively accelerate the phaseout of traditional encryption systems from critical sectors.
