Envisioning the Future of Cyber Security in Post-Quantum Era: A Survey on PQ Standardization, Applications, Challenges and Opportunities

This article presents a comprehensive study on post-quantum (PQ) cybersecurity approaches. The authors analyse different PQ schemes, their vulnerabilities, and security assessments. They also evaluate global standardization processes and their metrics in relation to real-world applications. The study primarily focuses on standardized PQ schemes, additional signature competition candidates, and cutting-edge schemes beyond standardization. The paper concludes with visions and potential future directions for a smooth transition to the PQ era.
