Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition Publishes PQC Inventory Workbook
MCLEAN, Va. & BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC) published its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Inventory Workbook to assist organizations of all sizes in creating a centralized inventory to track cryptographic migration efforts. 'Building an inventory is essential for effective migration planning and long-term success. The PQC Inventory Workbook helps to create a centralized inventory to track cryptographic migration efforts," said Wen Masters, MITRE. Share 'As highlighted within the coalition's PQC Migration Roadmap, building an inventory is essential for effective migration planning and long-term success,' said Wen Masters, vice president of cyber technologies, MITRE. 'The workbook serves as a resource to help organizations achieve their migration goals.' The workbook provides a streamlined set of fields to assess PQC needs, plan system life cycles, and prioritize assets for migration. Organizations can use the workbook as is or customize it to meet their specific needs, including adding fields to track additional data over time. The workbook further helps organizations: Identify and define systems or assets to track. Categorize assets by priority (e.g., high, medium, or low). Populate the inventory tab with available information. Update the inventory as new data or systems are identified. The workbook also contains a glossary that defines key cryptographic terms and lists the vulnerability of common algorithms. 'The coalition continues to provide new resources to the greater cyber community to help them better manage their transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic systems,' said Matt Mickelson, lead coordinator of the PQCC and senior cyber principal for science and technology, MITRE. 'This spring the Coalition published the PQC Migration Roadmap, now we have the inventory workbook, and we plan to publish quantum risk assessment materials later this year.' Organizations or individuals that wish to participate in the coalition can visit or contact pqcc-registration-list@ About the Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition The PQCC is a global community of technologists, researchers, and cybersecurity experts dedicated to providing critical outreach and education to support PQC migration and to bolster efforts to establish and implement interoperable standards and technology. Founded by IBM Quantum, Microsoft, MITRE, PQShield, and SandboxAQ, the coalition brings together more than 125 leading contributors from diverse organizations working to secure the digital landscape.

Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition Unveils PQC Migration Roadmap
MCLEAN, Va. & BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC) released its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Migration Roadmap to assist organizations of all sizes in navigating the complexities of transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography. 'As quantum computing technology continues to advance, organizations cannot afford to delay preparing for these transformative changes and threats to their security,' said Wen Masters, vice president of cyber technologies, MITRE. Share 'As quantum computing technology continues to advance, organizations cannot afford to delay preparing for these transformative changes and threats to their security,' said Wen Masters, vice president of cyber technologies, MITRE. "This roadmap empowers CIOs (chief information officers) and CISOs (chief information security officers) to act decisively, taking proactive steps to protect sensitive data now and in the future.' Key features of the PQC Migration Roadmap include: Preparation: Learn how to identify relevant stakeholders, assess vulnerabilities, and align organizational goals with migration timelines. Baseline Understanding: Develop an inventory of cryptographic assets and prioritize critical resources. Planning and Execution: Acquire or develop quantum-safe solutions and implement them with precision. Monitoring and Evaluation: Establish robust tracking measures and continuously assess cryptographic security as quantum threats evolve. Building on the National Institute of Standards and Technology PQC standards and the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence PQC migration project, the coalition's roadmap allows organizations to quickly and easily tailor a PQC Roadmap for their own needs based on the shared experiences of the PQCC members. 'I'm overjoyed to see the coalition come together to create this roadmap that anyone can use to accelerate their own PQC migration,' said Matt Mickelson, lead coordinator of the PQC Coalition and senior cyber principal for science and technology, MITRE. Download the PQC Migration Roadmap to gain insights into how your organization can prepare for the future of quantum-safe security. For more updates, visit to see the state of the migration on the PQC heatmap, and look for a tailorable PQC inventory workbook tool to be released soon.
