Migration of legacy public systems to post-quantum cryptography for low-income communities

Many institutions cannot inventory where vulnerable cryptography is used across old software, embedded devices, archives, and vendor systems. The future challenge is completing secure migration before quantum-capable attackers can exploit long-lived encrypted data. The solution must work with limited capital, intermittent services, and local maintenance capacity. The research opportunity is to define measurable success criteria, test the approach in realistic settings, identify failure modes, and create a pathway from prototype to accountable deployment.
