The session will focus on Post Quantum implications on encryption in the Cloud infrastructure use case highlighting:
- Migration plan & priorities
- Timelines and dependencies
- Business Risk Analysis
- Technical Challenges for PQC Migration
- Sensitive Data Discovery
- Cryptographic inventory
- PKI and legacy implications

The use case is part of the soon to the published 4th GSMA PQTN whitepaper on Post Quantum Cryptography and provides a set of best practice guidelines on Quantum safe cryptography migration for 17 use cases specific to the telecom industry.

It builds on the previous 3 whitepapers published in 2023 and 2024 and takes into consideration the risk assessment framework(s) being adopted by the wider industry and the implementation roadmap for PQC. The document highlights the known technical challenges and areas of uncertainty, to raise awareness with stakeholders. Within each use case there is a detailed analysis of aspects such as standards, government guidelines, functional architecture and performance implications.

As the paper is completed and due to be published in early September (ongoing approvals at GSMA level) I cannot share it at this stage. I have added below the previous 3 papers we published as a reference and can share the 4th one as soon as it is published.
