Practice Area 02 / 04

Quantum Cybersecurity & Cryptography

The most immediate quantum legal obligation most organisations face is not hypothetical — it is the migration to quantum-resistant cryptography, already required on a staged basis for critical infrastructure in India and being adopted as the working standard everywhere else.

Post-Quantum Cryptography Compliance

Advising on obligations arising from national and sectoral post-quantum cryptography mandates, and documenting compliance in a form that withstands regulatory scrutiny.

Migration Strategies

Structuring the legal and contractual dimensions of a phased cryptographic migration — vendor obligations, timelines, and risk allocation during the transition period.

Encryption Risk Assessment

Legal risk assessments of an organisation's cryptographic posture, prioritised against data sensitivity, retention period, and "harvest now, decrypt later" exposure.

Quantum-Safe Cybersecurity Frameworks

Building governance frameworks and policies that embed quantum-safe practices into existing cybersecurity and enterprise risk programmes.

Data-Security Implications

Advising on how quantum risk intersects with existing data security and breach-notification obligations under Indian and international law.

Government Cybersecurity Mandates

Tracking and translating evolving government guidance — including staged post-quantum cryptography requirements for critical information infrastructure — into concrete client obligations.

Infrastructure Protection

Advising critical infrastructure operators on the legal dimensions of protecting quantum-adjacent systems, including quantum communication links and key-management infrastructure.

Why This Can't Wait

Migration takes years. The exposure starts today.

Data encrypted with today's standards can be intercepted and stored now, for decryption once capable quantum hardware exists. For any organisation holding long-lived sensitive data — financial records, health data, government communications, trade secrets — the compliance clock effectively started already.
