For Security Practitioners

Implementation Guides for Quantum Readiness

Hands-on resources for security engineers, architects, and technical teams implementing cryptographic inventory, PQC migration, and quantum-safe controls.

Four Phases of PQC Migration

A structured approach to transitioning your organization to quantum-safe cryptography.

1

Discovery & Inventory

  • Identify all cryptographic assets
  • Map certificate dependencies
  • Document key management systems
  • Catalog encryption protocols
2

Risk Assessment

  • Classify data sensitivity
  • Evaluate quantum vulnerability
  • Assess third-party dependencies
  • Prioritize migration targets
3

Planning & Testing

  • Select PQC algorithms
  • Design hybrid implementations
  • Test in sandbox environments
  • Validate performance impact
4

Deployment & Operations

  • Execute phased rollout
  • Monitor for issues
  • Update operational procedures
  • Maintain crypto agility

Key Technical Activities

Cryptographic Inventory

  • Scan all systems for crypto usage
  • Document TLS/SSL configurations
  • Map PKI certificate chains
  • Identify HSM deployments
  • Catalog API authentication methods

Vulnerability Assessment

  • Identify RSA/ECC key exchanges
  • Flag vulnerable hash algorithms
  • Assess key sizes and strengths
  • Review digital signature schemes
  • Check for hardcoded crypto

Migration Preparation

  • Evaluate PQC library options
  • Plan hybrid transition approach
  • Test algorithm performance
  • Validate interoperability
  • Document rollback procedures
