Operational value
Reduced dependency on one algorithm
IBDCP is designed for crypto agility: identities, signatures and evidence formats can evolve as approved post-quantum algorithms and operational standards mature. This is readiness for controlled migration, not a claim that every surrounding system is quantum-safe.
Long-lived records may need integrity and identity assurance beyond the useful life of current cryptography, while abrupt algorithm replacement can break interoperability.
Versioned cryptographic profiles, algorithm separation and evidence renewal create a path for phased transition without redesigning every application.
Reduced dependency on one algorithm
Planned transition instead of emergency replacement
Consistent verification policy across applications
Post-quantum security depends on correct implementations, key management, endpoints and approved standards. IBDCP cannot make an insecure device or compromised credential trustworthy.
Wallet identity, recovery and signed evidence workflows are practical places to apply crypto-agile policy.
Start with the workflow where fragmented authority, custody or provenance is already creating cost, delay or risk.
