Abstract
A network device may determine that a particular security association (SA) is to be established with a peer network device and that a post-quantum preshared key (PPK) cannot be obtained by the network device. The network device may determine that establishment of quantum-secure SAs is not mandatory for the network device. The network device may generate based on determining that the PPK cannot be obtained by the network device, and based on determining that establishment of quantum-secure SAs is not mandatory for the network device, a pseudo-PPK, and may generate, using the pseudo-PPK, pseudo-PPK authentication information associated with the network device. The network device may generate, using a non-quantum-secure key, non-quantum-secure authentication information associated with the network device. The network device may generate an authentication message that includes the pseudo-PPK authentication information and the non-quantum-secure authentication information, and may send the authentication message to the peer network device.
