Scope:The advent of large-scale quantum computers will compromise much of modern cryptography, which is instrumental in ensuring cybersecurity and privacy of the digital transition. Any cryptographic primitive based on the integer factorization and/or the discrete logarithm problems will be vulnerable to large-scale quantum-powered attacks. The digital data/products/systems that derive their security ultimately from the abovementioned primitives will be compromised and must be upgraded - including their replacement when needed- to quantum-resistant cryptography. The massive scale of this foreseen upgrade shows that preparations are needed today in order to widely implement the relevant mitigations in the future. Many companies and governments cannot afford to have their protected communications/data decrypted in the future, even if that future still seems distant. There is a need to advance swiftly in the transition to quantum-resistant cryptography.
Post-quantum resistant cryptographic algorithms should be deployable in a dynamic manner in order to quickly react to new quantum computer developments. Recommendations for post-quantum cryptography have already been published, but have to be maintained up-to-date, Proposals received under this topic should contribute to developing coordinated European recommendations for the transition to post-quantum cryptography across the EU.
The identification and analysis of potential regulatory aspects and barriers for the developed technologies/solutions is encouraged, where relevant.

Características del Proyecto
1. **Increasing the maturity of current post-quantum cryptographic algorithms:** Enhancing the effectiveness and reliability of existing post-quantum algorithms through research and development efforts.
2. **Development of easy-to-use tools for large-scale implementation:** Creating tools based on state-of-the-art standards to facilitate the widespread adoption of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.
3. **Secure and efficient transition from pre- to post-quantum encryption:** Implementing a hybrid approach that combines pre-quantum public key algorithms with post-quantum alternatives to ensure a smooth and secure transition.
4. **Integration of post-quantum algorithms into new or existing applications:** Phasing in post-quantum algorithms or protocols to enhance the security of digital data, products, and systems.
5. **Creation of demonstrators and good-practice implementations:** Showcasing the effectiveness of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms across various hardware and software platforms.
6. **Development of application-oriented recommendations:** Providing practical recommendations for the widespread implementation of post-quantum cryptography throughout the European Union.
The overarching goal is to prepare for the advent of large-scale quantum computers, which pose a significant threat to existing cryptographic methods. By transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptography and developing dynamic post-quantum algorithms, the project aims to safeguard cybersecurity and privacy in the face of potential quantum-powered attacks. It also seeks to contribute to the development of coordinated European recommendations for the transition to post-quantum cryptography, addressing regulatory aspects and potential barriers to implementation.
