Replaces\nRSA and ECDH for key establishment. Three security levels: ML-KEM-512, ML-KEM-768,\nML-KEM-1024.\n\n**ML-DSA (FIPS 204)** -- Primary standard for digital signatures. Replaces RSA and\nECDSA for signing. Three security levels: ML-DSA-44, ML-DSA-65, ML-DSA-87.\n\n**SLH-DSA (FIPS 205)** -- Backup signature standard using hash-based approach. Intended\nas fallback if lattice-based ML-DSA is found vulnerable. Larger signatures but\nconservative security assumptions.\n\n### Quantum-Vulnerable Algorithms\n\nThese classical algorithms are vulnerable to quantum attack via Shor's algorithm:\n\n| Algorithm | Usage | Quantum Threat | Migration Priority |\n|-----------|-------|---------------|-------------------|\n| RSA-2048/4096 | Key exchange, signatures, encryption | Shor's algorithm breaks factoring | Critical |\n| ECDH (P-256, P-384) | TLS key exchange | Shor's algorithm breaks ECDLP | Critical |\n| ECDSA | Code signing, TLS certificates | Shor's algorithm breaks ECDLP | Critical |\n| DSA | Legacy signatures | Shor's algorithm breaks DLP | Critical |\n| DH (Diffie-Hellman) | Key exchange | Shor's algorithm breaks DLP | Critical |\n| AES-128 | Symmetric encryption | Grover's halves key strength | Medium (upgrade to AES-256) |\n| SHA-256 | Hashing | Grover's reduces to 128-bit | Low (still adequate) |\n\n### NIST Migration Timeline (IR 8547)\n\n- **2024**: Standards published, migration planning should begin\n- **2030**: Deprecation of quantum-vulnerable algorithms for most federal systems\n- **2035**: Complete removal of quantum-vulnerable algorithms from NIST standards\n- **Now**: \"Harvest now, decrypt later\" attacks make early migration essential for\n  long-lived secrets and data requiring long-term confidentiality\n\n### Hybrid TLS Key Exchange\n\nDuring the transition period, hybrid key exchange combines a classical algorithm with\na post-quantum algorithm. If either algorithm is secure, the connection remains protected.\n\n```\nHybrid Key Exchange: X25519MLKEM768\n  = X25519 (classical ECDH) + ML-KEM-768 (post-quantum)\n\nClient Hello:\n  supported_groups: X25519MLKEM768, X25519, secp256r1\n  key_share: X25519MLKEM768\n\nServer Hello:\n  selected_group: X25519MLKEM768\n  key_share: X25519MLKEM768\n\nShared Secret = KDF(X25519_shared || MLKEM768_shared)\n```\n\n## Instructions\n\n### Phase 1: Cryptographic Inventory Scanning\n\nThe first step in PQC migration is discovering all cryptographic algorithm usage\nacross the enterprise. This includes TLS configurations, certificates, code libraries,\nkey stores, and protocol configurations.\n\n```python\n# Scan TLS endpoints for quantum-vulnerable algorithms\npython scripts/agent.py --action scan_tls \\\n    --targets targets.txt \\\n    --output tls_inventory.json\n```\n\nThe scanner identifies:\n- TLS protocol versions in use\n- Key exchange algorithms (RSA, ECDH, DH -- all quantum-vulnerable)\n- Certificate signature algorithms (RSA, ECDSA)\n- Cipher suite configurations\n- Certificate key sizes and expiration dates\n\n### Phase 2: Crypto-Agility Assessment\n\nEvaluate the organization's ability to swap cryptographic algorithms without\nmajor infrastructure changes:\n\n```python\n# Assess crypto-agility readiness\npython scripts/agent.py --action assess_agility \\\n    --scan-results tls_inventory.json \\\n    --output agility_report.json\n```\n\nKey assessment areas:\n1. **Protocol flexibility**: Can TLS configurations be updated without downtime?\n2. **Library versions**: Do deployed crypto libraries support PQC algorithms?\n3. **Certificate infrastructure**: Can CA issue PQC certificates?\n4. **Key management**: Can KMS handle larger PQC key sizes?\n5. **Hardware constraints**: Can HSMs support PQC operations?\n\n### Phase 3: Hybrid TLS Readiness Testing\n\nTest whether infrastructure supports hybrid key exchange with X25519MLKEM768:\n\n```python\n# Test hybrid TLS support on target servers\npython scripts/agent.py --action test_hybrid_tls \\\n    --target server.example.com:443 \\\n    --output hybrid_tls_report.json\n```\n\n**OpenSSL 3.5+ (native ML-KEM support):**\n```bash\n# Test with native PQC support\nopenssl s_client -connect server.example.com:443 \\\n    -groups X25519MLKEM768\n```\n\n**OpenSSL 3.0-3.4 with oqs-provider:**\n```bash\n# Configure oqs-provider\n# /etc/ssl/openssl-oqs.cnf\n[openssl_init]\nproviders = provider_sect\n\n[provider_sect]\ndefault = default_sect\noqsprovider = oqsprovider_sect\n\n[default_sect]\nactivate = 1\n\n[oqsprovider_sect]\nactivate = 1\nmodule = /usr/lib/oqs-provider/oqsprovider.so\n\n# Test hybrid TLS\nOPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl/openssl-oqs.cnf \\\nopenssl s_client -connect server.example.com:443 \\\n    -groups x25519_mlkem768\n```\n\n**Web Server Configuration for Hybrid TLS:**\n\nApache httpd:\n```apache\nSSLEngine on\nSSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt\nSSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.key\nSSLOpenSSLConfCmd Curves X25519MLKEM768:X25519:prime256v1\nSSLProtocol -all +TLSv1.2 +TLSv1.3\n```\n\nNGINX:\n```nginx\nssl_ecdh_curve X25519MLKEM768:X25519:prime256v1;\nssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;\nssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;\n```\n\n### Phase 4: ML-KEM Key Encapsulation Validation\n\nValidate that ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber) key encapsulation works correctly in your\nenvironment:\n\n```python\n# Test ML-KEM key encapsulation at all security levels\npython scripts/agent.py --action test_mlkem \\\n    --output mlkem_validation.json\n```\n\nML-KEM parameter comparison:\n\n| Parameter | ML-KEM-512 | ML-KEM-768 | ML-KEM-1024 |\n|-----------|-----------|-----------|------------|\n| Security Level | NIST Level 1 | NIST Level 3 | NIST Level 5 |\n| Public Key Size | 800 bytes | 1,184 bytes | 1,568 bytes |\n| Ciphertext Size | 768 bytes | 1,088 bytes | 1,568 bytes |\n| Shared Secret | 32 bytes | 32 bytes | 32 bytes |\n| Comparable To | AES-128 | AES-192 | AES-256 |\n\n### Phase 5: ML-DSA Digital Signature Validation\n\nValidate ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium) signature operations:\n\n```python\n# Test ML-DSA digital signatures\npython scripts/agent.py --action test_mldsa \\\n    --output mldsa_validation.json\n```\n\nML-DSA parameter comparison:\n\n| Parameter | ML-DSA-44 | ML-DSA-65 | ML-DSA-87 |\n|-----------|----------|----------|----------|\n| Security Level | NIST Level 2 | NIST Level 3 | NIST Level 5 |\n| Public Key Size | 1,312 bytes | 1,952 bytes | 2,592 bytes |\n| Signature Size | 2,420 bytes | 3,293 bytes | 4,595 bytes |\n| Secret Key Size | 2,560 bytes | 4,032 bytes | 4,896 bytes |\n\n### Phase 6: Migration Roadmap Generation\n\nGenerate a prioritized migration roadmap based on inventory and assessment results:\n\n```python\n# Generate complete migration roadmap\npython scripts/agent.py --action roadmap \\\n    --scan-results tls_inventory.json \\\n    --agility-results agility_report.json \\\n    --output migration_roadmap.json\n```\n\nThe roadmap prioritizes systems by:\n1. **Data sensitivity**: Systems handling long-lived secrets migrate first\n2. **Exposure level**: Internet-facing services before internal\n3. **Crypto-agility**: Systems that can easily swap algorithms first\n4. **Compliance requirements**: Federal/regulated systems per NIST IR 8547 timeline\n5. **Dependency chains**: Libraries and frameworks before applications\n\n## Examples\n\n### Full Assessment Pipeline\n\n```bash\n# Step 1: Scan all TLS endpoints\npython scripts/agent.py --action scan_tls --targets hosts.txt --output scan.json\n\n# Step 2: Assess crypto-agility\npython scripts/agent.py --action assess_agility --scan-results scan.json --output agility.json\n\n# Step 3: Test hybrid TLS on critical servers\npython scripts/agent.py --action test_hybrid_tls --target critical.example.com:443\n\n# Step 4: Validate ML-KEM support\npython scripts/agent.py --action test_mlkem --output mlkem.json\n\n# Step 5: Validate ML-DSA support\npython scripts/agent.py --action test_mldsa --output mldsa.json\n\n# Step 6: Generate migration roadmap\npython scripts/agent.py --action roadmap --scan-results scan.json --agility-results agility.json --output roadmap.json\n```\n\n### Quick Server Assessment\n\n```bash\n# Single server PQC readiness check\npython scripts/agent.py --action scan_tls --target server.example.com:443\n```\n\n##
