Study on Transitioning to Post Quantum Cryptography in 3GPP

Generation-agnostic: a cryptographic inventory of 5G, evaluation of the NIST PQC algorithms, and the IETF protocol integration work that follows.

Where it stands

Scope

Cryptographic inventory of 5G systems; NIST PQC algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA); integration into TLS, IPsec, PKI and JOSE.

Migration horizon

Around 2030 for high-priority systems, around 2035 for full migration.
