From Inventory to Action: Navigating the Next Phase of PQC Transition
summary
Organizations already have cryptographic inventories and now must act: prioritize replacing root-of-trust systems first, start no‑regret PKI migration by ~2031, and select HSMs that complete FIPS validation while labs face a ~600‑day backlog. Focus on a few hundred critical roots (under 100 in Web PKI examples) because a single broken root enables broad forgery; treat trust‑now‑forge‑later as higher priority than harvest‑now‑decrypt‑later and plan HSM procurement, PoCs, and rollouts around validation lead times.
