France's ANSSI will stop certifying products without post-quantum cryptography

Sources: postquantum.com writeup, HN discussion
Summary: France's cybersecurity agency ANSSI stated at the France Quantum 2026 conference on 2026-06-17 that from 2027 it will stop certifying security products that lack quantum-resistant encryption, with 2030 as the target for organizations to buy only quantum-safe products. ANSSI requires hybrid mechanisms that combine classical and post-quantum algorithms rather than standalone post-quantum, accepts ML-KEM and ML-DSA, and also recommends FrodoKEM. The account resurfaced on Hacker News on 2026-07-22.
Why it matters: A national certification body making hybrid PQC a market-access requirement puts a hard date on migration work for vendors selling into French government and critical infrastructure.
Follow-up: Watch which certification schemes are named, the hybrid-algorithm requirements in detail, and whether other EU agencies set matching cutoffs.
