However, the advent of #quantum computing introduces critical security challenges, as quantum algorithms can breach classical #cryptographic #protocols. In the event of a quantum attack, a single transaction on a publicly accessible quantum computer can extract the relevant secret key, followed by conventional techniques such as deploying ransomware or intercepting communications. This report builds further on the earlier TSDSI Study of “#PQC for Future 5G Networks and Application Verticals” (TR 6021), focussing on securing IoT/M2M and connected devices using PQC techniques in resource constrained embedded system environments. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:  • Explores the use of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standardized PQC algorithms, particularly #FIPS 203 (ML-KEM / CRYSTALS-Kyber), for enabling quantum-resistant security in embedded systems, including generation of secure device identity through device fingerprinting and establishment of Root-of-Trust using secure elements  • Analyses PQC implementation in resource-constrained environments, including performance, integration with existing hardware such as RSA #coprocessors, and feasibility of deploying lattice-based cryptographic algorithms in embedded #platforms  • Outlines key elements such as device fingerprint-based identity, #CMP integration, secure communication, and #zerotrustsecurity for IoT/M2M ecosystems  • Identifies requirements for quantum-resistant security in connected devices, PQC adoption, enhanced secure elements, and support for identity management and secure communication frameworks 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: There is a need for adoption of post-quantum cryptographic mechanisms, including FIPS 203, along with Root-of-Trust and device fingerprint-based identity approaches, to enable quantum-resistant security for connected devices.
