This 11-page white paper from NXP addresses the challenges of implementing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) on embedded systems. It highlights the limitations of such systems, particularly in terms of computing power, memory and energy consumption. It also discusses future PQC standards and the complexity of integration. An important aspect is the development of memory-optimized and efficient implementations that are both secure and resource-efficient. It is emphasized that specialized hardware solutions are necessary to successfully master these challenges. The authors discuss future standards and the complexity of integrating quantum-safe algorithms. Overall, the white paper is technically sound and is aimed at experts who deal with the future security of embedded systems. (oe)
