Plain-English Summary

The federal government would establish new security standards to protect computer systems and data from threats posed by quantum computers, which are expected to become powerful enough to break current encryption methods in the future. Government agencies, contractors, and critical infrastructure operators like power plants and hospitals would need to update their cybersecurity practices to meet these new standards. This would help prevent sensitive information like military secrets, financial records, and personal data from becoming vulnerable once quantum computing technology advances.
