Post Quantum Cryptography Guidelines for Telecom Use - TG Approval DRAFT & CONFIDENTIAL |
| Body |
1 Summary
On 24th September 2022, GSMA members agreed to create a new task force called
“Post Quantum Telco Network” (PQTN) to identify the impact of Post Quantum
Cryptography in the context of the Telco Industry.
Since then, the PQTN TF has released two documents:
- Post Quantum Telco Network Impact Assessment Whitepaper
- Guidelines for Quantum Risk Assessment for Telco
Now, PQTN TF would like to inform about the publication of Post Quantum
Cryptography – Guidelines for Telecom Use Cases by end of February 2024. The
scope of this document is to provide a set of best practice guidelines that can
be used to support the journey to Quantum safe cryptography in the context of
the telecom ecosystem
2 Whitepaper Summary
This document builds on the Post Quantum Telco Network Impact Assessment
Whitepaper, providing guidelines that will be evolved to support the planning,
setup and execution of a quantum safe cryptography journey for the Telco
industry. We also highlight dependencies on standards, with a view towards an
ongoing constructive engagement with relevant stakeholders (standards bodies,
etc) related to telco requirements.
This is a first version of a working document that will evolve in parallel to
solutions, standards and policies. The objective is to leverage learnings,
experience and best practices in order to provide an up to date, Telco focused,
practical and actionable perspective. Actions
Please note that the GSMA PQTN Task Force will publish PQ.03 Post Quantum
Cryptography – Guidelines for Telecom Use Cases by the end of February 2024.
The document shared is still draft.
This is the first detailed, telco sector-specific, analysis of the implications
of the transition to Post Quantum Cryptography for the telecom industry. We
trust you will find this document valuable.
We request that you consider the implications of this document as input and
requirements for the standards/recommendations you are developing. The GSMA
PQTN can work with you to clarify these requirements. We request that you
acknowledge this liaison statement, and we are happy to receive any feedback.
