Post-Quantum Migration for Enterprise Networks

This review examines post-quantum migration for enterprise networks. The organizing question is how organizations should sequence cryptographic inventory, hybrid deployment, interoperability testing, and retirement of vulnerable algorithms. Ten related scholarly sources are synthesized through a decision-centered framework spanning problem definition, mechanism, measurement, evaluation, implementation, and governance. The review does not invent experiments, pooled estimates, or unreported quantitative results. It instead evaluates the strength and transferability of the available evidence, with particular attention to deploying new algorithms without mapping protocol and certificate dependencies. The resulting framework links technical or empirical performance to explicit use conditions and identifies tests that should precede wider adoption in long-lived network and data-protection infrastructure.
