The focus of DGAP’s research and consulting on this core theme is the interdependency of technology and foreign policy. Technological innovation — as well as the diffusion and impact of emerging technologies — is always influenced by the social, economic, and (security) policy contexts in which it occurs. At the same time, technologies affect international actors by changing their areas of influence, options for action, and goals. Today, technology not only continues to play a role in determining foreign and security policy in the classical sense, but it also almost always includes an international dimension, for example in its consequences for regulation or global chains of supply and production.

How Germany Can Improve Its Standing in Post-Quantum Cryptography

This DGAP Policy Brief examines the impact of the major shift to post-quantum cryptography that occurred two years ago. First, it assesses how extensively major technology companies in various sectors are deploying quantum-proof encryption. Then – given that companies such as Amazon, IBM, and Apple are already actively deploying it while no major German company yet has – it offers Germany recommendations on how it can best close this gap.
