Plain-English Summary

The federal government would establish new rules to protect computer systems and sensitive data from advanced encryption-breaking attacks that could emerge in the future. This would require federal agencies and potentially contractors working with the government to upgrade their cybersecurity defenses and transition away from encryption methods that might become vulnerable to new technology. The measure affects government agencies, defense contractors, and companies that handle classified or sensitive federal information.
