Post-Quantum Cryptography: Preparing for Q-Day

Quantum computers will break current encryption - prepare now.

NIST PQC Standards (2024)

- CRYSTALS-Kyber (key exchange)
- CRYSTALS-Dilithium (signatures)
- FALCON (signatures)
- SPHINCS+ (signatures)

Timeline

- 2024: Standards finalized
- 2025-2030: Migration period
- 2030+: Quantum threat materializes

Action Steps

- Inventory cryptographic assets
- Identify high-value data
- Test PQC implementations
- Plan hybrid approaches
- Budget for migration
