Use cases · Security · post-quantum
Know which cipher to replace first, and by when
A dated risk window for each cipher in your estate, so the post-quantum migration is planned and budgeted rather than rushed.
Impact
A migration order you can budget
Baseline: migrate everything at once, or wait
Condition: a dated window per cipher; central estimate about 2030 to 2031, range 2028 to 2034
The problem
Data harvested today can be decrypted once a large enough quantum computer exists. Security teams must decide what to migrate first, and budget for it, without a date to plan against.
Our approach
We assess each cipher and parameter set your estate relies on and give it a dated exposure window, so the migration can be ordered by risk. It informs the migration; it does not perform it.
The evidence
- Our dated assessment, not a measurement: central about 2030 to 2031, range 2028 to 2034.
- Complements a national migration programme rather than replacing it.
Status: Prediction. Our own dated assessment.
