As we move closer to "Q-Day," focus is shifting from algorithm selection to the massive task of global deployment. Session 3 of RWPQC 2026 explores the policy landscape and the technical tools required to inventory and migrate legacy systems at scale.

In this session:

-Moses Liskov (MITRE): Outlines the six phases of cryptographic migration and analyzes the impact of US Federal policies like NSM-10, CNSA 2.0, and the Quantum Computer Cybersecurity Preparedness Act.

-Nicolas Gama (SandboxAQ): Demonstrates how machine learning can enrich cryptographic inventories, reducing false positives in Docker image scans and identifying real-world risks like expired certificates.

-Basil Hess (IBM Research): Introduces the C-BOM (Cryptographic Bill of Materials) framework within the CycloneDX standard, providing a "Lego-like" model for tracking dependencies across software, hardware, and cloud services.

Key Takeaways: Learn how to build a PQC roadmap, understand the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" defense status, and discover open-source tooling for automated cryptographic discovery.
