eMudhra Highlights Potential "Y2K Moment" with Post-Quantum Cryptography Transition
BENGALURU, KARNATAKA, INDIA, March 18, 2026 / EINPresswire.com/ -- eMudhra has raised concerns regarding the potential for a significant disruption as organizations transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The company suggests this shift could represent a "Y2K moment" for digital security, requiring large-scale changes across enterprise infrastructure, identity systems, and digital public infrastructure.The need for this transition stems from advances in quantum computing that threaten widely used encryption standards, impacting financial transactions, identity systems, digital signatures, and secure communications. Governments and regulators in the United States and Europe are already encouraging organizations to adopt quantum-resistant cryptography to safeguard data and infrastructure.
"The world's digital infrastructure is built on cryptography. If existing encryption becomes vulnerable, the impact could be systemic," said Biju Varghese, EVP, eMudhra. The company emphasizes that organizations must proactively prepare for the transition to maintain trust in digital systems.
The shift to post-quantum security may affect certificate lifecycles, authentication systems, secure communications, and long-term data protection strategies. eMudhra recommends enterprises evaluate cryptographic inventories, update trust architectures, and implement migration strategies.
eMudhra is a global provider of digital identity, authentication, and trust services. The company partners with technology providers and governments worldwide to deliver secure digital trust solutions across more than 35 countries.
