This standard describes a Quantum Cybersecurity Framework composed of two categories: 1) threat vectors to information processing (data) security including new vectors due to quantum computing, and 2) defense mechanisms of advanced technologies tailored to the threat vectors. Threat vectors and the defense mechanisms include a holistic examination of vulnerabilities and risk mitigation for security comprising the combination of: a) classical cryptography with post-quantum cryptography b) classical cryptography with quantum cryptography c) post-quantum cryptography with quantum cryptography d) other standard security protocols e) algorithms, and f) security measurements.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
