IBM recommends tracking post-quantum cryptography transition needs through SBOM standard

IBM has developed capabilities to help federal agencies and private sector entities prepare for migrating to post-quantum cryptography, based on a widely-used standard for creating a Software Bill of Materials.

“There is a need to discover, manage and report cryptography as the first step on the migration journey to quantum safe systems and applications. Cryptography is typically buried deep within components that are used to compose and build systems and applications,” IBM says on a GitHub page outlining considerations...
