Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). An example method includes receiving data. The example method further includes retrieving policy information associated with the data. The example method further includes generating a set of policy attributes about the data based on the data and the policy information. Subsequently, the example method includes generating a risk profile data structure based on the set of policy attributes. The risk profile data structure may be indicative of a vulnerability of the data in a PQC data environment.
