Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration for Identity Infrastructure: 2026 Developer Guide
A June 22, 2026 U.S. executive order mandates all federal agencies and their vendors complete migration to NIST post-quantum cryptographic standards by December 31, 2030. If your identity infrastructure handles government workloads — or if competitors start advertising PQC compliance — you need a concrete migration plan now. This guide covers the specific algorithms, migration sequence, and platform-specific steps for OAuth, JWT, SAML, and TLS in identity systems. Why Identity Infrastructure Is a Priority Target Identity systems are the highest-risk category for post-quantum attacks for two reasons: ...
