Course Overview

For legal counsel, compliance officers, and policy advisers navigating quantum security regulation. Covers NIST FIPS 203/204/205 (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA), ETSI quantum-safe specifications, US NSM-10 and CNSA 2.0 mandates, UK NCSC migration guidance, and EU Cybersecurity Act quantum dimensions.

Curriculum

Course content is structured into sessions below. Each session is configurable to your organisation's environment, threat model, and objectives.

# Session Topics
1 The Regulatory Trigger: Why Quantum Changes Compliance Obligations From theoretical risk to binding mandates
2 NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards FIPS 203, 204, 205, and draft FIPS 206 in detail
  • FIPS 203 (ML-KEM): key encapsulation mechanism based on Module-LWE, parameter sets ML-KEM-512/768/1024, performance characteristics
  • FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA): digital signature standards, when to use lattice-based versus hash-based signatures
  • Draft FIPS 206 (FN-DSA): NTRU lattice-based signatures, timeline to finalisation, and implications for early adopters
Break
3 ETSI Quantum-Safe Cryptography Standards European standards landscape and interoperability requirements
  • ETSI TS 119 312: cryptographic suites for electronic signatures and infrastructure, PQC algorithm inclusion timeline
  • ETSI TR 103 619: migration strategies for quantum-safe schemes, recommended transition architectures
  • ETSI ISG QKD specifications: GS QKD 004 (application interface), GS QKD 014 (security proofs), GS QKD 015 (network architecture)
4 Interactive Demonstration: Regulatory Gap Assessment Full-day format only
  • Mapping an organisation against NIST, ETSI, and national mandates to identify compliance gaps
  • Prioritising remediation by regulatory deadline, enforcement mechanism, and business impact
  • Building a jurisdiction-specific compliance timeline integrating multiple overlapping frameworks
Break
5 National Mandates and Sector-Specific Requirements US, UK, EU, and allied nation obligations
  • US NSM-10 (National Security Memorandum on Quantum): agency migration deadlines, CISA reporting requirements, CNSA 2.0 algorithm suite
  • UK NCSC PQC migration guidance: phased approach, GovAssure alignment, Crown Commercial Service procurement implications
  • EU Cybersecurity Act: quantum dimensions, ENISA guidance on PQC readiness, NIS2 Directive interaction with quantum risk
6 Cross-Jurisdictional Compliance and Emerging Frameworks Navigating divergent requirements across regulatory boundaries
  • Algorithm approval divergence: where NIST, ETSI, and national agencies disagree on algorithm selection
  • Hybrid key exchange mandates: CNSA 2.0 requiring ML-KEM + X25519 versus ETSI recommendations
  • Emerging frameworks: ANSSI (France) PQC guidance, BSI (Germany) Technical Guideline TR-02102, CSA (Singapore) advisory
7 Q&A and Compliance Roadmap Planning
