Preparing for and migrating to a world with PQC
summary
Panelists give actionable steps: inventory cryptography, form a dedicated team, and rate data by sensitivity and lifetime to set priorities. Labs can experiment now using open-source PQC and OQS-wrapped algorithms integrated into wolfSSL to measure TLS impacts; Cloudflare data shows TLS setup can slow ~3x when TCP congestion window is hit. IoT needs hash-based firmware signatures, may require hardware replacement, and timelines vary (national-security upgrades targeted by 2033). Consider hybrid key exchange for near-term confidentiality and adopt a crypto-agility maturity model.
