PQC Evaluator

Purpose

Provides expert guidance on evaluating post-quantum cryptographic algorithms and planning quantum-safe migration strategies.

Capabilities

• NIST PQC standard implementation checks
• Lattice-based algorithm analysis
• Code-based cryptography evaluation
• Hash-based signature verification
• Hybrid classical-PQC schemes
• Migration impact assessment
• Performance benchmarking
• Key size analysis

Usage Guidelines

1. Inventory Assessment: Catalog current cryptographic usage
2. Algorithm Selection: Choose appropriate PQC algorithms for use cases
3. Implementation Review: Verify correct implementation of PQC schemes
4. Performance Testing: Benchmark PQC against classical algorithms
5. Migration Planning: Develop phased migration strategy
