Policy Instruments for a Quantum-Secure Future
Future quantum computers could revolutionise our digital world but also pose a threat to today’s security systems due to their ability to break existing cryptographic methods used for both key exchange and digital signatures. To protect Sweden’s digital health data, a rapid transition to quantum-secure solutions is required.
This project explores how regulations and policy instruments can drive and facilitate the transition to a quantum computer-secure ecosystem for health data.
The goal is to lay the foundation for a quantum-secure health data ecosystem in Sweden by:
- Mapping existing regulations and policy instruments, and identifying legal obstacles.
- Developing concrete proposals for new or adapted policy instruments to support a rapid transition to quantum-secure solutions.
- Contributing insights and guidance for future strategies in the field.
The project identifies and analyses policy challenges that may arise when planning and implementing quantum-secure solutions to protect sensitive health data, particularly in relation to the national digital health data infrastructure. Using an exploratory approach in a policy lab, the project will develop and test potential regulatory and policy solutions in a controlled environment, based on a needs analysis to ensure that the development of solutions responds to actual needs.
