MCLEAN, Va. & BEDFORD, Mass., July 31, 2025 -- The Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC) published its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Inventory Workbook to assist organizations of all sizes in creating a centralized inventory to track cryptographic migration efforts.

“As highlighted within the coalition’s PQC Migration Roadmap, building an inventory is essential for effective migration planning and long-term success,” said Wen Masters, vice president of cyber technologies, MITRE. “The workbook serves as a resource to help organizations achieve their migration goals.”

The workbook provides a streamlined set of fields to assess PQC needs, plan system life cycles, and prioritize assets for migration. Organizations can use the workbook as is or customize it to meet their specific needs, including adding fields to track additional data over time.

The workbook further helps organizations:

1. Identify and define systems or assets to track.

2. Categorize assets by priority (e.g., high, medium, or low).

3. Populate the inventory tab with available information.

4. Update the inventory as new data or systems are identified.

The workbook also contains a glossary that defines key cryptographic terms and lists the vulnerability of common algorithms.

“The coalition continues to provide new resources to the greater cyber community to help them better manage their transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic systems,” said Matt Mickelson, lead coordinator of the PQCC and senior cyber principal for science and technology, MITRE. “This spring the Coalition published the PQC Migration Roadmap, now we have the inventory workbook, and we plan to publish quantum risk assessment materials later this year.”
