France's ANSSI to Ban Non‑Post‑Quantum‑Ready Products from Certification Starting 2027

France's ANSSI said it will change certification rules. The change targets products that do not incorporate post‑quantum cryptography (PQC). Effective 2027, such products will be ineligible for certification. Certification is required for many government and critical‑infrastructure systems. The move aims to future‑proof security against quantum attacks. Vendors will need to adopt PQC algorithms to meet the new standards. ANSSI expects the policy to drive industry readiness. The decision aligns with broader European efforts on quantum‑resistant security.
