Post-Quantum Security (PQC)¶
Post-quantum cryptography prepares for the day when quantum computers can break current public-key algorithms.
NIST PQC Standards¶
- ML-KEM (Kyber) — key encapsulation mechanism.
- ML-DSA (Dilithium) — digital signature algorithm.
- SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+) — stateless hash-based signatures.
Migration path¶
- Inventory — know which algorithms you use (TrustSource Algorithm database).
- Assess — identify where PQC migration is needed.
- Migrate — replace vulnerable algorithms with PQC-safe alternatives.
- Monitor — track algorithm deprecation status continuously.
