1. A system for post-quantum cryptography (PQC), the system comprising:
quantum computing (QC) detection circuitry configured to
generate encrypted data;
monitor a set of data environments comprising the encrypted data, wherein a data environment associated with the set of data environments comprises one or more quantum computing techniques;
generate QC detection data comprising one or more instances of the one or more quantum computing techniques decrypting the encrypted data; and
PQC cryptographic circuitry configured to
encrypt, subsequent to the generation of the QC detection data, data based on the QC detection data, wherein the data is encrypted based on a set of PQC encryption attributes absent from the QC detection data.
