Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration for Agentic AI Systems

Robert Campbell

Agentic AI systems depend on classical public-key cryptography for agent identity, tool invocation, inter-agent communication, model integrity, and persistent state, exposing them to a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) along two axes: confidentiality (harvest-now-decrypt-later) and integrity (harvest-now-forge-later). Existing post-quantum migration guidance addresses static, operator-controlled enterprise estates, while emerging agent-identity work omits post-quantum cryptography entirely; neither treats non-human-identity-dense, runtime-negotiated agentic systems as a distinct migration class. This paper develops a conceptual framework that does. It organizes agentic cryptography into seven migration surfaces and separates each identity into a credential layer (symmetric, operator-held, low-risk) and a trust-anchor layer (the asymmetric roots that underwrite the fleet). These layers scale inversely: a small set of trust anchors carries a forge-later blast radius equal to the population beneath it, so migration effort and forge-later risk rank the work in opposite orders. A migration matrix and a parametric effort-and-risk model formalize this, yielding the core sequencing rule: migrate anchors first. Because agentic adoption is ongoing, it also reframes migration from a finite inventory into a continuously regenerating problem, distinguishing remediation of the installed base from prevention of new classical-cryptographic debt in future deployments. It closes with oversight and procurement implications for federal post-quantum readiness.

From Relays to Sovereign Nodes: Isolating the Concepts of Orbital Post-Quantum Infrastructure and Predicting the Epistemology of Post-PQC Security

Syed Muntasir Mamun

A recent industry communication (King, 2026) reports that SEALSQ and WISeKey are advancing a Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud (QSOC): a planned low-Earth-orbit constellation that would recast satellites from communications relays into trusted computing nodes combining post-quantum cryptography (PQC), quantum random-number generation (QRNG), digital identity, edge artificial intelligence, and secure machine-to-machine transaction. This article isolates the constitutive concepts of that communication, subjects each to theoretical enquiry, and compares the leading families of theory in the relevant fields—public-key cryptography after Shor, physical-layer quantum key distribution, hardware roots of trust, certified entropy, digital identity, edge/autonomous computation, and sovereign infrastructure. It then offers a prediction about the epistemology that arises once PQC ceases to be a laboratory primitive and becomes an orbital, physically gated, multi-assumption infrastructure. The argument is that 'post-PQC epistemology' is not merely the knowledge that certain lattice, hash, or code problems are hard. It is a hybrid onto-epistemic regime in which justified belief about secure communication is produced by the co-presence of (i) diversified mathematical hardness, (ii) certified physical entropy, (iii) hardware-bounded execution integrity, and (iv) jurisdictional claims over extra-territorial compute.
