| Abstract: | Cryptographic agility frameworks enable the transition from one cryptographic algorithm or implementation to another in a computing system or application. As quantum safe algorithms (PQC) steadily progress through the NIST-led standardization process, we ask whether the research community has done enough to map and expand cryptographic deployment paradigms, most developed decades ago, to modern compute infrastructures. The problem is acutely felt by the operators of such infrastructures where applications and systems are highly distributed, involve many software and hardware components, bring together multiple stakeholders, and require policy-driven control. Since the security, performance, and manageability of cryptography matters, we contend that these are not extraneous concerns that lack connection to the applied research community. |
