PQ-NEXT

The PQ-NEXT project will develop a migration framework to analyse and model scenarios, proposing a smooth transition to post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) standards with tailored migration plans.

The project includes a catalogue of PQC and hybrid algorithms, maintenance tools, and a quantum programming language featuring high-performance simulation and hybrid quantum-classical optimization, ensuring crypto-agility and security against quantum threats.

PQ-NEXT’s solutions will be validated through large-scale pilots in finance, critical infrastructure, telecommunications, and digital identities, through the selected use of digital twinning.

Smartlex’s Role

In the PQ-NEXT project Smartlex is responsible for:

  • Collaborating in the effective management of the project, the definition of its scope of activities and its planning;
  • Monitoring and examining research ethics and gender equality requirements within the project activities;
  • And, above all, design the Intelligent Compliance Navigation System, also taking care of the regulatory analysis aspects of the project and that inherent in the contractual and security benefits of guided migration.
