Despite the plethora of quantum-based security technologies, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) mathematical algorithms appear poised to become our first line of defense due to their ability to run on conventional computer hardware through straightforward software updates.
Still, the transition won’t be easy. Many systems will not be able to communicate using these new PQCs without updates. Knowing what will break is paramount in a successful migration to post-quantum cryptography.
Earlier this year, the European Commission issued a directive to member states to work together in developing a comprehensive strategy to adopt and implement a PQC roadmap in public administration systems and critical infrastructure.
