Cyprus
EU roadmap Standard-takerCyprus's posture is represented by the Digital Security Authority, the national agency under the Commissioner of Communications, which has engaged with quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography through the ENISA Telecom and Digital Infrastructure Security Forum alongside 5G and Internet of Things security. No national guidance, migration timeline or standards selection has been published.

Regulatory basis
- NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555, Art. 21(2)(h)
- DORA, Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 (financial sector)
- Commission Recommendation (EU) 2024/1101 on a coordinated PQC roadmap
- NIS Cooperation Group Coordinated Implementation Roadmap (2026/2030/2035)
Legal status: Binding
Essential and important entities must use state-of-the-art cryptography under NIS2, transposed into national law, and financial entities face equivalent duties under DORA; neither yet names post-quantum algorithms specifically. Migration follows the EU coordinated roadmap, with high-risk use cases targeted for 2030 and full migration by 2035, which is encouraged rather than mandated.
Standards and algorithms
No standards or algorithms specified.
Hybrid stance
None stated
Migration timeline
- 2030High-risk use cases migrated
- 2035Full migration of all systems complete
Target completion: 2035
International standards processes
- NIS Cooperation Group co-authored the EU coordinated PQC roadmap
Governmental and standards bodies
- DSA Cyprus Digital Security Authority, independent governmental agency under the Commissioner of Communications, engages with post-quantum cryptography through the ENISA telecom forum
