1. An apparatus for post-quantum cryptography (PQC), the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least;
receive, via communications circuitry, data;
receive, via the communications circuitry, a set of data attributes about the data;
receive, via the communications circuitry, a risk profile data structure indicative of a vulnerability of the data in a PQC data environment;
retrieve, via PQC cryptographic performance circuitry, PQC cryptographic performance information associated with a set of PQC cryptographic techniques, wherein the PQC cryptographic performance information comprises a set of PQC cryptographic performance attributes for a plurality of PQC cryptographic techniques in the set of PQC cryptographic techniques;
select, via PQC cryptographic algorithm selection circuitry, a PQC encryption algorithm for encrypting the data based on the set of data attributes, the risk profile data structure, the PQC cryptographic performance information, and a PQC optimization machine learning model; and
encrypt, via PQC cryptographic circuitry, the data based on the PQC encryption algorithm.
