To codify Executive Order 14412, entitled "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks".
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · June 29, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committees on Science, Space, and Technology, Foreign Affairs, Homeland Security, Intelligence (Permanent Select), and Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill would convert Executive Order 14412 into permanent federal law, giving it the status of legislation rather than a presidential directive that could be reversed by a future president. The executive order, issued on June 22, 2026, addresses national security concerns related to advanced cryptographic attacks—sophisticated threats to encryption systems that protect sensitive government and potentially private sector information. By codifying the order, Congress would ensure that the government's measures to defend against these cryptographic threats remain in place regardless of changes in administrations. The bill was referred to multiple committees including Oversight and Government Reform, Science and Technology, Foreign Affairs, Homeland Security, Intelligence, and Armed Services, reflecting the broad national security implications of cryptographic security. The legislation does not specify particular funding amounts or implementation timelines in the text provided.
