How to embed the Deadline Board

The Deadline Board is the list of public regulatory and standards deadlines that constrain a cryptographic migration, with every row linked to the document that sets it. It can be embedded in any page. There is one published snippet, it is the one below, and the canonical copy of it sits on the Deadline Board itself.

#The snippet

Paste it where you want the board to appear.

<iframe
  src="https://www.theosquantum.com/embed/deadlines"
  title="Deadline Board: public post-quantum regulatory and standards deadlines"
  width="100%"
  height="580"
  loading="lazy"
  style="border:0;background:transparent"
></iframe>

That is the whole integration. There is no script tag, no initialisation call, nothing to install, and no build step.

#What the embed renders

• The same rows as the board itself, in the same order, from the same data. Each row carries the framework and its scope, the date as ISO YYYY-MM-DD, the region, the issuing body, a whole-day relative figure, and a link to the document that sets the date.
• No longer description per row. The board carries a sentence of detail for each deadline and the embed does not, which is what keeps the leaf short enough to sit in a sidebar.
• A visible reference date, so a reader can see what the relative figures were measured against.
• One small attribution link back to the Deadline Board.
• A transparent document background and no iframe border, so nothing paints a box across your layout.
• No site navigation, no footer, no cookie banner, no call to action, and nothing that animates or counts down.

#No key, no cookie, no parameters

Route

/embed/deadlines. Public, and marked noindex because it is a leaf rather than a page.

Authentication

None. No account, no key, no token, no allow-list of origins.

Parameters

None. The route reads nothing from the query string, so appending one changes nothing about what renders.

Cookies and analytics

None, and no request to a third party. The leaf loads nothing we have not published.

Width

Fluid. The width="100%" attribute lets the frame take the width of its container.

Height

Fixed, at the value in the snippet above. It is sized so every row fits without an internal scrollbar down to a 320-pixel-wide container, which makes a smaller value worse rather than tidier.

Freshness

The relative figures are recomputed when this site is rebuilt, at whole-day granularity. Nothing counts down while a reader is on the page.

Terms

Free to use, on any site, commercial or not.

#Before you paste it

1. 1

   Copy it from the board

   The snippet on the Deadline Board is the published one and has a copy control beside it. A snippet from anywhere else is a variant, and we publish no variants.

2. 2

   Check your content security policy

   A page with a frame-src or child-src directive has to allow this origin, or the frame is blocked before it renders. That is the most common reason a correctly pasted embed shows nothing at all.

3. 3

   Check it at your narrowest breakpoint

   The height is fixed for the narrow case. A wider container leaves transparent space beneath the rows, which shows your own page through rather than a white block.

4. 4

   Then leave it alone

   The snippet carries no version. When a date passes or a row changes, the frame reflects it the next time this site is rebuilt, with no edit on your side.

#Where the dates come from

Every row names the body that issued it and links to the document that sets it, so a date can be checked at source rather than taken on our word. The board does not rank the dates by risk, because the ordering that matters depends on which of them binds your estate, and it carries no date for a cryptographically relevant quantum computer because there is no defensible one to publish. For an arithmetic answer about your own systems, The Quantum Window takes your inputs and shows the working. The status of the standards these deadlines point at is maintained on Exposure Signals and is not restated on the board, so the two surfaces cannot drift apart.
