Abstract

This article, published by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) on April 6, 2026, addresses post-quantum cryptographic migration strategies for cloud-native zero-trust architectures. It provides practical deployment guidance for CSA members on transitioning from classical cryptographic protocols to NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms including ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA. The article covers threat timelines, migration prioritization frameworks, hybrid cryptography approaches, and zero-trust integration patterns for cloud-native environments.
