NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence’s Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography Project
summary
NCCoE runs a lab collaboration of 40+ companies that actually puts vendor tools into testbeds and runs SISA’s eight federal use cases (expecting ~55 more) to measure real outcomes. Work focuses on Discovery and inventory — using Cisco Mercury, GDIT tooling, Microsoft CodeQL and others to flag PQ-vulnerable keys — and on HSM interoperability and performance, where an HSM vendor achieved CAVP validation day‑after standards and vendors test PQ-ready MCU samples and crypto accelerators in real stacks. Findings feed NIST SP 1800-38.
