Bill to protect U.S. computer systems from future quantum computing threats.
The problem
Quantum computers could break current encryption methods that protect sensitive government and private data. The U.S. needs defenses ready before this technology becomes widely available.
The proposal
Establishes standards and requirements for quantum-resistant security technology across federal agencies and critical infrastructure systems.
The impact
Government agencies, technology companies, and critical infrastructure operators must upgrade security systems. Taxpayers fund implementation costs. Citizens benefit from stronger data protection.
Quantum-resistant encryption safeguards classified government information and military communications. Prevents adversaries from decrypting sensitive data collected today using future quantum computers.
Gives companies time to transition security systems before quantum threats materialize. Early action is cheaper than emergency fixes later.
Banks, healthcare providers, and other companies storing personal data must upgrade defenses. Citizens' financial and medical information becomes more secure.
Developing and installing quantum-resistant technology requires skilled workers. This could boost cybersecurity job growth.
Upgrading security systems across government and infrastructure is expensive. Costs may increase for consumers and businesses eventually.
Switching to new encryption standards is technically challenging and takes time. Systems might temporarily have vulnerabilities during updates.
If deadlines are too tight, agencies might implement inadequate solutions. Poor execution could leave systems weaker, not stronger.
Other countries may not adopt same standards simultaneously. Mismatched global security systems could create problems.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
