| Abstract | The rapid advancement of quantum computing poses a major threat to digital security. The risk is urgent because many software systems rely on cryptographic methods that could become insecure in the presence of large-scale quantum computers, including those that protect banking, medical records, and critical infrastructure. However, upgrading to quantum-safe cryptography is not as simple as replacing one encryption package with another. Security mechanisms are often spread across many parts of a |
