🔒 Awesome Post-Quantum Cryptography Resources

A curated collection of cutting-edge resources on post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

📖 Introduction

Quantum computers will one day be powerful enough to break today’s widely used cryptographic systems, such as RSA and ECC. To prepare for this shift, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is being developed to ensure our digital world remains secure in the quantum era.

This repository brings together:

• 📜 Standards & drafts from NIST, IETF, and other bodies.
• 📚 Handbooks, guides, and migration strategies for organizations.
• 🛠 Implementations, tools, and software to experiment with PQC today.
• 🔬 Research papers, publications, and events driving the field forward.

Whether you’re a developer, researcher, or security architect, this list will help you stay up-to-date and navigate the transition toward quantum-resistant cryptographic systems.
