• To proactively secure critical government infrastructure against emerging quantum threats before they materialize, ensuring national security and data integrity for decades to come
• To implement crypto-agile solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing systems, minimizing disruption while maximizing long-term security posture
• To establish a robust framework for compliance with future post-quantum cryptographic standards, safeguarding sensitive governmental data and communications.

• Lack of clear, standardized governmental guidelines and mandates for post-quantum cryptography adoption creates uncertainty and implementation hurdles
• Budgetary constraints and the complex procurement processes within government agencies delay critical security upgrades and innovation
• The challenge of convincing non-technical stakeholders about the urgency and technical complexities of quantum threats to secure necessary resources and support.
