💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps organizations understand their current cryptographic posture and plan for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), mitigating future risks from quantum computing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inventory Classical Crypto: Identifies all current asymmetric cryptographic algorithms in use.
  • Map PQC Replacements: Suggests NIST-standardized PQC algorithms (like Kyber and Dilithium) as replacements.
  • Assess Readiness: Evaluates system readiness for PQC adoption, considering library support, protocol changes, and hardware capabilities.
  • Plan Migration: Outlines a phased migration strategy, including hybrid modes.
  • Use Case: A software architect needs to understand how their company's flagship product will be affected by the shift to quantum-resistant cryptography and needs a plan to update it.

Quick Start

Use the pqc-readiness skill to assess the system's readiness for post-quantum cryptography migration.

Frequently Asked Questions about pqc-readiness

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess my system's readiness for post-quantum cryptography migration?▼

To assess post-quantum cryptography migration readiness, inventory your current asymmetric cryptographic algorithms, map them to NIST-standardized PQC replacements, and evaluate your library support and hardware capabilities for quantum-safe transitions.

What is the best way to plan a phased migration to quantum-safe cryptography?▼

Planning a phased migration to quantum-safe cryptography involves mapping current key exchange and digital signature algorithms to NIST-standardized PQC replacements, then outlining a timeline that incorporates hybrid mode implementations for a secure transition.

How do NIST-standardized PQC algorithms replace classical cryptographic algorithms?▼

NIST-standardized PQC algorithms replace classical cryptographic algorithms by mapping existing asymmetric key exchange and digital signature schemes to quantum-resistant alternatives like Kyber and Dilithium to mitigate future quantum computing risks.

Do I need hybrid modes for a quantum-safe cryptography transition?▼

Hybrid modes are needed for a quantum-safe cryptography transition to maintain compatibility during the phased migration, allowing classical and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms to operate simultaneously while evaluating system readiness.

When should I start inventorying classical crypto usage for PQC migration?▼

You should start inventorying classical crypto usage for PQC migration immediately to understand your current cryptographic posture, identify all asymmetric algorithms in use, and mitigate future risks from quantum computing before deploying NIST-standardized replacements.
