Identify all cryptographic keys and certificates within your enviroment.
This is a key part of centralization of PKI management and planning for quantum-safe resistant algorithms.
Prioritize critical data and long-term signing.
74% of IT leaders are concerned about their exposure to “harvest now, decrypt later” strategies. 61% are concerned that their organizations will not be prepared to address the security implications of PQC. With the NIST quantum-safe algorithms being finalized in 2024, now is the time for organizations to begin investing in a PQC strategy that prioritizes protecting critical data and long-term signing. Strategies should also focus on cryptoagility, beginning with the creation of a centralized inventory of cryptographic assets.

The experts at DigiCert have thought through how best to attack the challenge of PQC readiness, and the tools on this page will help you get started. The strategies below are here to help you on your way - but you don't need to take this journey alone.
PQC READINESS
Identify all cryptographic keys and certificates within your enviroment.
This is a key part of centralization of PKI management and planning for quantum-safe resistant algorithms.
Prioritize critical data and long-term signing.
Your systems depend on quantum-safe roots of trust.
As you plan your transition to quantum-safe trust anchors, also evaluate your partner and vendor migration strategies.
When your system can speak quantum, you are ready for quantum-safe resistant key deployments to your systems.
You will need a method and strategy to quickly and efficiently replace your keys and certificates across Code Signing, Client Authentication, and Server TLS deployments.
The best way to get familiar with new technologies is to get your hands dirty and dig right in. It is even better to do this with the systems and processes you use, and best of all, doing that for free. Welcome to the PQC Playground, where you can do all that.
As you explore this page, you will see that we have organized our tools around building an asset inventory, creating trust for your systems, and then certifying that trust with quantum-safe digital certificates.
We have gathered numerous external resources that can inform your journey. We will continue to add to this list as more quality PQC related tools and technologies become available.
