DOHA, Nov 10 — Malaysia is developing a national plan to transition its critical information infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography, as part of efforts to strengthen cybersecurity and prepare the country for emerging threats posed by quantum computing.
Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said he had instructed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to engage with the National Security Council (MKN), National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA) and telecommunications operators to establish a shared research and development (R&D) testbed.
He said the initiative would allow relevant stakeholders to jointly test solutions and accelerate the transition to quantum-resistant cryptography in a secure and coordinated manner.
