Story (Required)

As a Developer I want to develop a comprehensive migration strategy for post-quantum cryptography So that we can systematically transition OpenShift and Tekton ecosystem projects to quantum-resistant cryptographic methods with minimal disruption

Background

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)

• Leverage previous cryptographic inventory and vulnerability analysis
• Identify current cryptographic dependencies across OpenShift products
• Review NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standardization efforts
• Engage and Align with Redhat Crypto Team
