SoK: Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Integration in Software Development: Approaches, Gaps, and Future Directions
A systematisation of PQC software integration reveals that standardised algorithms alone do not guarantee secure deployment—enterprises must address library compatibility, performance, and API gaps before quantum deadlines arrive.

arXiv:2611.08442v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standardised post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is critical for protecting software systems against future quantum threats, but standardised algorithms alone do not provide a pathway for their secure integration into software. This paper presents a Systematisation of Knowledge (SoK) of PQC integration in software development, synthesising existing approaches across implementation, migration, and developer education. We analyse these approaches agai
Editorial Analysis
European regulatory timelines for PQC readiness are tightening; enterprises that focus solely on algorithm selection without addressing integration challenges risk falling behind.
Launch a PQC integration pilot covering key software stacks to identify performance and compatibility issues before regulatory deadlines.
Standardised post-quantum algorithms are ready, but software integration gaps may delay enterprise migration—early piloting is essential.
