Scope of this report is to analyse opportunities and challenges in Hybrid security scenarios based on the combined use of QKD and PQC.
Before that, a taxonomy of the meanings of the term “hybrid” has to be provided in the context of security, in order to fix the analysis of this white paper. Having established this, we provide an analysis of the state of art of the international activities carried out by existing projects, industry bodies and standard fora.
Examples of analysis of hybrid security scenarios based on the combined used of QKD and PQC include the following questions:
- to understand challenges and opportunities of the combined used of QKD and PQC.
- to get a picture of the state of the art and the experiments.
- To provide a picture of current activities in the standards (e.g., ITU, ISO, IETF, ETSI, CEN-CENELEC…) with the aim at identifying gaps and proposing synergies to avoid overlapping efforts.
