Its purpose is to keep member states from migrating in isolation and ending up with incompatible approaches.",[18,28,29],{},"The recommendation asks each member state to develop a national post-quantum strategy and to use hybrid schemes during the transition.

That caution fit the moment, because the post-quantum algorithms were still new when the Commission published the text.",[18,31,32],{},"To coordinate the work, the recommendation points to a sub-group of the NIS Cooperation Group as the venue where member states align their plans.
