Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for a cryptographic inventory management (CIM) framework that enables cryptography agility with regards to network security requirements regarding threats from/of quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI). The disclosed CIM framework can support a mixture of algorithm types, such as, but not limited to, classical, lattice based, code based, isogeny based and the like, which makes switching between cryptographic algorithms efficient, secure and smooth. The disclosed framework can provide a centralized cryptography inventory system (e.g., keys, algorithms, protocols, libraries, crypto-accelerators) that can be compiled, updated and maintained, and can include all the cryptography assets of network functions and support network functions regardless whether they are physical or virtual, quantum vulnerable or not, and the like. The CIM framework can be compiled and implemented as a centralized cryptography system that is built and maintained via automated cryptography assets discovery tools.
