1. A system for post-quantum cryptography (PQC), the system comprising:
classical communications circuitry configured to
transmit a first portion of an electronic communication to a client device over a non-PQC communications channel, wherein the client device comprises a PQC shim circuitry;
PQC shim circuitry configured to
transmit one or more communications between a PQC callback circuitry and the client device over a PQC communications channel, wherein the PQC communications channel is established based on the first portion of the electronic communication, wherein the client device is a non-PQC device; and
PQC callback circuitry configured to
transmit a second portion of the electronic communication to the client device over a PQC communications channel.
