The Dutch PQC Migration Handbook (AIVD, CWI and TNO, second edition, December 2024): guidance for moving to post-quantum cryptography in three steps. Diagnosis (PQC personas, cryptographic policy, discovery strategy, inventories of cryptographic assets in CBOM form, data and suppliers, and a scored quantum risk assessment), planning (migration manager and budget, cost estimate, maturity model, dependency-ordered technical plan with protection during change) and execution (hybrid combinations and downgrade protection, pre-shared keys under six conditions, recommended algorithms such as ML-KEM-1024 and ML-DSA-87 with classical partners, protocol-by-protocol migration, cryptographic agility, evaluated implementations and priority for PQC over QKD), plus the no-regret moves. 25 recommendation leaves, paraphrased.

Verified

Netherlands PQC Migration Handbook (AIVD, CWI, TNO, 2nd Edition 2024) is a compliance framework from Netherlands (guidance usable internationally) with 4 domains and 25 controls that map to 4 other frameworks. The largest domains are Step 1: quantum-vulnerability diagnosis – Netherlands PQC Migration Handbook (AIVD, CWI, TNO, 2nd Edition 2024) (8 controls), Step 3: execution – Netherlands PQC Migration Handbook (AIVD, CWI, TNO, 2nd Edition 2024) (8 controls), Starting position and no-regret moves – Netherlands PQC Migration Handbook (AIVD, CWI, TNO, 2nd Edition 2024) (5 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.
