Post-Quantum Cryptography in Europe: Risks, Strategy and Portugal as a National Case Study in the NIS2 Transition

Ivo Ricardo Dias Rosa, Carlos Lopes

With Shor’s and Grover’s algorithms compromising the mathematical core of legacy RSA and ECC, the active threat of ‘Harvest Now, Decrypt Later’ (HNDL) campaigns is already accelerating the rollout of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). This paper examines the gap between EU compliance mandates, specifically NIS2 Directive and the Cyber Resilience Act, and the actual engineering of quantum-safe systems. We push 'hybrid cryptography’ as the immediate standard, layering NIST primitives like ML-KEM and ML-DSA over classical protocols to enforce redundancy in constrained environments. We use the NIST IR 8547 framework to organise migration into discovery, prioritisation, and modernisation. Using Portugal as a national case study, this paper examines how EU-level PQC governance is translated into national implementation through the CNCS, QNRC, and PTQCI frameworks. Ultimately, success depends on building PQC expertise in Portugal while rebuilding cryptographic foundations for the quantum era.

This chapter explores the impact of quantum computing on cybersecurity, comparing classical and quantum techniques. It provides an overview of the current quantum landscape, focusing on the threats posed by quantum algorithms to traditional encryption methods. The study examines defensive strategies, such as quantum key distribution and post-quantum cryptography, presenting real-world examples and implementation challenges. It also discusses the main quantum algorithms relevant to cybersecurity and the various approaches within post-quantum cryptography. The chapter highlights the implications for governments, businesses, consumers, and researchers, stressing the need for proactive preparation and collaboration. The authors conclude by discussing the future role of quantum computing in cybersecurity, acknowledging the challenges while emphasizing the potential for quantum-safe solutions. The analysis underscores the importance of navigating the transition to a post-quantum era through strategic planning, research investment, and the adoption of hybrid classical-quantum approaches.
