PQC Migration

This section is about Post-Quantum Computer (PQC) migration. This is not about quantum computer itself, but about aspects related to migration toward post-quantum cryptography.

In short, certain types of cryptographic algorithms are expected to be broken by the quantum computers when sufficient size of such computers become available. This situation requires migrating to new algorithms that are resistant against quantum computers.

I plan to write blogs, mainly focusing on the difficulties of migrating to new post-quantum algorithms. This includes theoretical aspects as well as practical issues upon migration to such algorithms. The following is the expected list of blog topics.

  • Part 1: Background – quantum computers and cryptography
  • Part 2: Types of post-quantum algorithms.
  • Part 3: NIST standardization of PQC algorithms.
  • Part 4: …
