Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC)


The emergence of quantum computing has fundamentally reshaped cybersecurity paradigms, rendering traditional encryption methods like RSA and ECC vulnerable to future quantum attacks. For over a decade, ZRA has closely monitored this evolution, from early theoretical discussions to the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) recent standardization of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms. This deep expertise positions us to help organizations address the urgent "harvest now, decrypt later" threat, where adversaries collect encrypted data for future decryption using quantum capabilities.

PQC combines strategic guidance with technical execution, beginning with comprehensive discovery processes to map cryptographic assets and identify quantum-vulnerable systems. ZRA implements posture management frameworks that assess risk exposure and prioritize migration pathways, through the stages of business process assessment, analysis of threat environments, integration, risk analysis, and initial migration decision making. This phased methodology enables agencies to systematically transition from legacy systems to quantum-resistant infrastructures without disrupting critical operations.
