# GGS-6: Post-Quantum Infrastructure

The **GGS-6: Post-Quantum Infrastructure** standard defines the requirements for securing the Gen6 ecosystem against the threats posed by quantum computing. This standard outlines the adoption of quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques and the integration of post-quantum algorithms to ensure long-term security as quantum computing advances. Key components include:

1. **Quantum-Resistant Cryptography**: Transition to cryptographic algorithms that are resistant to attacks from quantum computers, including lattice-based, hash-based, and code-based cryptography.
2. **Key Management**: Implement quantum-safe key exchange protocols, secure key storage, and update mechanisms to ensure the integrity of cryptographic keys against quantum threats.
3. **Interoperability**: Ensure that the new post-quantum cryptographic systems work seamlessly with existing systems, while enabling backward compatibility for legacy cryptographic standards during the transition period.
4. **Scalability**: Design the infrastructure to handle the computational and storage demands of post-quantum cryptography while maintaining system performance.
5. **Regulatory Compliance**: Ensure compliance with emerging standards and regulations related to post-quantum security, including those from organizations like NIST.
6. **Monitoring and Transition Strategy**: Define a clear path for migrating to post-quantum cryptographic solutions, with ongoing monitoring to evaluate quantum threats and ensure infrastructure resilience.

**Already PQ:** Validators' SSH access.

This standard aims to future-proof the Gen6 ecosystem against the potential risks posed by quantum computing, ensuring secure data transmission, storage, and processing in the post-quantum era.
