===== Summary =====

**Quantum computers threaten today's encryption.** Data intercepted today can be decrypted tomorrow - "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later".

**The solution:** Post-quantum cryptography according to NIST standards((NIST PQC: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptography)). This library enables risk-free migration without disrupting existing systems.

===== Key Benefits =====

^  Benefit  ^  Description  ^
| Future-proof | Protection against quantum attacks |
| Backward compatible | No breaking changes |
| NIST compliant | FIPS 203/204 standards |
| Minimal effort | 2 lines of code for activation |

===== Recommendation for Action =====

**Start now:**
  - Evaluate library (NuGet: ''EMSR.Crypto'')
  - Pilot project with hybrid mode
  - Gradual rollout after validation

**Why now?**
  * Long-term data is already at risk
  * Migration takes time (certificates, testing, rollout)
  * BSI recommends migration by 2030
