Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration involves transitioning from current public-key cryptographic systems to new ones that can withstand attacks by future quantum computers.
The security of current public-key cryptographic systems is threatened by advancements in quantum computing technology, which could potentially break widely used encryption methods like RSA and ECC.
Lattice-based post-quantum cryptography schemes are implemented in a hybrid mode, running alongside traditional algorithms. This allows for secure communication during the transition period without disrupting existing connections.
Manufacturers are not directly involved; this process is primarily a software migration involving updates to cryptographic protocols and standards.
Involves updating existing cryptographic libraries, modifying network protocols (like TLS), and ensuring backward compatibility with legacy systems while integrating new post-quantum algorithms.
