Story (Required)

As a Developper I want to conduct a comprehensive vulnerability analysis of cryptographic implementations So that we can identify and mitigate potential security risks, especially those related to quantum computing threats

Background (Required)

The Tekton ecosystem comprises multiple projects with critical CI/CD infrastructure. Recent advancements in quantum computing pose significant risks to traditional cryptographic methods. This analysis is crucial to:

• Understand existing cryptographic vulnerabilities
• Prepare for potential quantum computing attacks
• Proactively protect software supply chain security
• Ensure long-term resilience of Tekton projects

Out of scope

• Immediate implementation of quantum-resistant algorithms
• Comprehensive code refactoring
• Replacing all existing cryptographic implementations
• Performing actual exploits or penetration testing

Approach (Required)

Using the cryptographic operations inventory: 

• Identify cryptographic attack surfaces
• Assess current signature algorithms
• Evaluate KMS management systems
