The document discusses the timeline for transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography. It notes that current cryptography is based on today's technology and is secure until the first quantum computer is available that can run Shor's algorithm. This would allow encryption to be cracked. It suggests transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography when the first quantum computer integrated with Shor's algorithm emerges, which could happen quickly once that milestone is reached. The document outlines different alarm levels related to quantum computing capabilities and stresses the importance of having quantum-safe cryptography before widespread systems capable of cracking current encryption become viable.

Alarm Red: First Quantum Computer integrated with the Shor-Algorithm 3. Integration time frame/ full functioning, commercially and technical viable system for cracking encryption (is generally seen as a very short time frame) 4. X = point in time, from where the crypto systems should be "Quantum Safe"
