Post-Quantum-Cryptography as property

[toscalix]

Background

As a result of restructuring the list (cryptoClass and CryptoSubClass values), effort tracked in #68 the Cryptography Group took the decision on 2026-04-22 to consider Post-Quantum-Cryptography (PQC) a new property, instead of a cryptoSubClass

Rationale

PQC follows a logic that does not fit in the cryptoClass structure. It would require us to challenge the current values of cardinality we follow in cryptoClass and cryptoSubClass, among other considerations. Pre and Post Quantum Cryptography tits better as a different dimension in the algorithms categorizations

Description

Discuss and reach a consensus on the description of this new property, related with PQC. Evaluate which algorithms are currently affected and use the existing candidates to the list #43 to check if the proposed property make sense.

Actions

• Define a proposal for the new property. Include
  • The changes in the list properties description
  • Algorithms affected and the new description for each one of them
  • how would potential candidates be described based on this proposal
• Reach consensus about this proposal wirthin the Cryptography Group
• Create and submit a PR
• Review and merge the PR
