What it is
You run readiness assessments against your existing certificates to score their quantum vulnerability, issue PQC (or hybrid classical + PQC) certificates from your internal CA, and track migration progress through structured migration plans. The existing renewal engine handles PQC certificates the same way it handles classical ones.When to use it
- Assess your current inventory for long-lived RSA or ECDSA certificates that are at elevated risk.
- Issue hybrid certificates (classical + PQC signature) so existing clients keep working while adding PQC protection.
- Track a fleet-wide algorithm migration from planning through rollout to completion.
- Demonstrate to auditors that you have a documented post-quantum migration program.
Supported algorithms
| Algorithm | NIST standard | Type |
|---|---|---|
| ML-DSA-44, ML-DSA-65, ML-DSA-87 | FIPS 204 | Signature (formerly CRYSTALS-Dilithium) |
| ML-KEM-512, ML-KEM-768, ML-KEM-1024 | FIPS 203 | Key encapsulation (formerly CRYSTALS-Kyber) |
| SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s | FIPS 205 | Signature (stateless hash-based) |
| Falcon-512 | Draft | Signature (smaller than ML-DSA) |
hybridClassicalAlg (for example, ECDSA-P256) alongside the PQC algorithm so that classical clients can verify the certificate today.
Set it up
Run a readiness assessment
Go to PQC > Assessments and click Assess readiness. Select one or more certificates. TigerTrust scores each certificate 0–100 based on key algorithm vulnerability, key size, hash algorithm, and remaining validity.
Review high-risk certificates
Filter to
high or critical risk. Each assessment returns a recommended target algorithm and an estimated migration duration.Create a migration plan
Click Create migration plan from the assessment results. Select the target algorithm, security level (1, 3, or 5), and the certificates in scope. TigerTrust tracks the plan through phases:
planning → pilot → rollout → complete.Issue PQC certificates
Go to PQC > Certificates and click Register PQC certificate. Choose the algorithm, enter the common name, and optionally set a classical algorithm for a hybrid certificate. The internal CA issues the certificate using the PQC algorithm.
What you’ll see
PQC > Assessments shows risk scores for assessed certificates with color-coded risk levels. PQC > Migration plans lists active plans with phase, progress percentage, target algorithm, and rollback plan. PQC certificates appear in your main Certificates inventory alongside classical ones, tagged with their algorithm.Migration playbook
Inventory
Run assessments across every certificate in scope. Filter high/critical risk into an initial batch.
Pilot
Migrate non-production workloads first using hybrid certificates so classical clients keep working.
Client compatibility
Test browsers, tools, HSMs, and TLS terminators against the larger PQC key material.
Rollout
Progressively renew production certificates onto the target algorithm. The renewal engine handles PQC certificates natively.
