Overview
Quantum Era Migration Roadmap
Migrating an organization to become secure in the quantum era can be complex and costly. However, it does not have to be when combined with legacy system migration, the introduction of zero trust capabilities, or the move to secure software supply chains.
While there isn’t a single standardized set of algorithms for every context, the threat of quantum computing to asymmetric cryptography (RSA, ECC) is well recognized. Preparing now is critical. It begins with establishing an inventory of cryptographic algorithms currently in use, mapping those vulnerable to quantum computers, and finalizing a migration plan with proper management structures.
Did You Know?
The migration plan might consist of a single step directly to exclusive QSC algorithms, or a two-step procedure using hybrid "legacy and quantum-safe" algorithms as an intermediate solution to avoid business service disruption.
Quantum Attack Profile (Shor's Algorithm)
Asymmetric Cryptography (RSA, ECC, DH)
Identify RSA, ECC, and DH algorithms across applications, APIs, certificates, and infrastructure before they become vulnerable.
Symmetric Cryptography (AES-128)
Analyze key lengths, encryption standards, certificate usage, and cryptographic dependencies to prioritize remediation.
AES-256 & SHA-384 / SHA-512
Build a phased roadmap to transition to NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography with minimal operational disruption.
Active Remediation
How PQC Migration Works
Three non-intrusive and active methods to discover cryptographic presence in systems, software, or Software as a Service (SaaS).
Discover
Passively or actively scan the IT environment to identify all cryptography in use. Enrich findings with context about the value and criticality of related data.
Analyze
Perform a deep scan of prioritized systems to find where quantum-vulnerable cryptography resides. Receive a prioritized remediation action plan.
Remediate
Upgrade to quantum-safe cryptography. Use ready-made drop-in replacements to upgrade systems from our growing quantum-proofed software repository.

CBOM & Quantum Safe
Extended Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOM)
To address the migration needs, our team contributed to standardizing CBOMs (Cryptography Bill of Materials) based on contributions to NIST and quantum algorithms.
CBOM is an extension of the SBOM standard. It catalogs your cryptographic assets, certificates, algorithms, and libraries in a machine-readable format. Our tools make it simple to integrate cryptographic compliance directly into CI/CD pipelines to ensure future changes can be easily automated.

FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA)

Regulatory Frameworks
Sovereign & Global PQC Compliance Standards
Regulatory mandates are shifting from advisory to directive. Keep your organization aligned with both local and international timelines.
India Sovereign Standards
DST National Quantum Mission (NQM) Task Force
The 2026 DST strategic report, "Implementation of Quantum Safe Ecosystem in India," mandates clear target dates: 2027 preparation, 2028-2029 transition for high-priority Critical Information Infrastructure (CII), and 2033 full quantum resiliency for general enterprises. Promotes testing frameworks run by TEC and migration structures by DSCI.
IDRBT Quantum Safe Guidelines
Established by the RBI, the IDRBT outlines a strict 3-phase banking migration: Phase 1 (Discovery & CBOM), Phase 2 (Hybrid Classical + PQC pilots), and Phase 3 (Full deprecation of RSA/ECC). Focuses on securing key payment systems like SFMS and RTGS.
Global Frameworks
NSA CNSA 2.0 (United States)
Requires all National Security System acquisitions to support post-quantum standards (ML-KEM/ML-DSA) by January 1, 2027. Legacy non-upgradable equipment must be phased out by 2030, with full resistance by 2035.
NIST PQC Finalized Standards
Governed by FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), and FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA). Falconer's FN-DSA (FIPS 206) is expected to be finalized in 2026-2027, with HQC selected as code-based backup.
EU Cyber Resilience Act (EU CRA)
Mandates strict cryptographic posture documentation, software transparency through SBOMs, and vulnerability reporting. Non-compliance risks significant fines across the single market.
Risk Factors
Why PQC Planning Deserves Executive Attention
PQC is not a standard patch cycle. Treating it like one is the fastest way to lose control of your budget and security timeline.
Algorithms Behave Differently
ML-KEM-768 produces a 1,184-byte public key compared to X25519's 32 bytes, while ML-DSA-44 signatures reach 2,420 bytes instead of Ed25519's 64 bytes. This impacts bandwidth, storage, and latency capacity plans.
Trust Fabric Blast Radius
PKI, TLS handshakes, VPN gateways, identity tokens, and secure code signing all rely on the public-key algorithms that you need to replace. Dependencies must be mapped before changes begin.
Hardware Limitations
Certain physical security keys, hardware modules, and IoT devices cannot store or process larger PQC keys. This requires refresh cycles and capital budgets to be aligned early.
Evolving Compliance
FIPS 140-3 module validations and other standards audits are still changing. Continuous compliance tracking and automated documentation must be established immediately.
The Clock is Ticking
The NSA's CNSA 2.0 timeline mandates post-quantum compliance for new systems by January 1, 2027, with complete resistance across federal and national security systems required by 2035.
Outage Risks
Because cryptography anchors identity, certificate mismatches and algorithm failures lead to broker downtime, broken integrations, and system-wide service disruption.
Strategy
Building Your Migration Plan & Budget
Turn your cryptographic inventory findings into clear treatment paths, and align budget models with executive board review expectations.
Actionable Treatment Paths
Immediate Migration
For high-value systems protecting data susceptible to "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) attacks. Delay is extremely risky.
Mitigation Pending Migration
For critical environments where vendors are not ready or deployment is complex. Apply interim controls and monitor.
Risk Acceptance / Exceptions
For low-impact systems near end of life where the cost of migration exceeds potential risk.
Budget & Cost Reductions
- System Redesign: Refactoring hardcoded cryptos deep inside application legacy code.
- Hardware Refreshes: Acquiring HSMS/KMS capable of supporting large lattice-based keys.
- Test Environments: Running mirroring environments to catch latency and performance regressions.
- Module Verification: Tracking CMVP module validation status (FIPS 140-3 validation gaps).
Pillar 01
Hybrid Cryptography
Running classical (RSA/ECC) and post-quantum (ML-KEM) algorithms simultaneously. Ensures backward compatibility and interoperability with external systems while protecting from harvest attacks.
Pillar 02
Crypto-Agility Architecture
An architecture principle where cryptographic algorithms are selected dynamically using parameters and abstracted abstraction layers. Swapping algorithms does not require code rewrite, making future updates easy.
Gap Mitigation
Protecting Data During Transition
Full migration will take years. Implementing these interim cryptographic controls buys time and mitigates active risk without slowing down business operations.
Shorten Certificate Lifetimes
Minimize exposure and narrow down the vulnerability windows by enforcing short-lived SSL/TLS keys and certificates.
Deploy TLS 1.3 with Hybrid Keys
Ensure all endpoints utilize TLS 1.3 coupled with hybrid key exchange models (e.g., X25519 paired with ML-KEM-768).
Enforce AES-256 and SHA-384+
Transition symmetric encryption parameters. Grover's algorithm halves symmetric security; AES-256 is the default safe floor.
