Quantum-Safe Migration Planning

A new automated tool has been introduced to detect cryptographic weaknesses across critical networks and systems. The initiative supports proactive transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography to secure data against future quantum threats.

Post-Quantum Cryptography & Automated Quantum Risk Tool:

Dimension	Key Details
Purpose of Automated Tool	Identifies quantum-vulnerable algorithms across networks, devices and applications to support migration planning
Output	Generates detailed report specifying vulnerable algorithms, their purpose and exact device location
Core Modules	Web Application, Security Scanner Agent and Control Software
Post-Quantum Cryptography	Comprises cryptographic algorithms designed to resist attacks by quantum computers
Objective of PQC	Ensures confidential data remains secure even if quantum computers render current encryption obsolete
Standard Setting Body	US National Institute of Standards and Technology has finalised initial post-quantum cryptographic standards
Quantum Cryptography	Uses principles of quantum mechanics to encrypt and transmit information securely
Quantum Key Distribution	Provides secure method for exchanging encryption keys between trusted parties
Quantum Coin-Flipping	Allows two untrusted parties to agree on parameters using quantum cryptographic principles
