1. A system for post-quantum cryptography (PQC), the system comprising:
communications circuitry configured to:
receive data;
data structure generation circuitry configured to:
generate an enveloped data structure based on the data;
data storage circuitry configured to:
store the enveloped data structure in a database management system;
data access monitoring circuitry configured to:
monitor the enveloped data structure for a change in the enveloped data structure; and
data attribute generation circuitry configured to:
in response to detection of a change in the enveloped data structure, perform at least one action from a list of actions, the list of actions comprising generating a modified set of data attributes about the data, generating a modified data envelope, generating a modified enveloped data structure, determining a PQC cryptographic technique, or encrypting the data based on a PQC cryptographic technique.
