CryptographicDiscovery.com

This Concept Note provides a descriptive framing for the domain name CryptographicDiscovery.com. It outlines why cryptographic discovery is increasingly treated as a prerequisite for crypto-agility and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration planning: organizations cannot plan, prioritize or govern cryptographic change responsibly without knowing where cryptography is actually used in their real systems.

Important: this page does not provide legal, regulatory, security, compliance, audit, certification, financial, investment, accounting, tax or technical advice. It does not represent any government, agency, standards body, or company. References are provided for context only.

CryptographicDiscovery.com does not operate tools, services, scanning platforms, datasets or inventories. It is a neutral, descriptive digital asset that may, in the future, be entrusted to appropriate organizations that wish to publish public-facing guidance or a knowledge hub under a clear category label.

Migration pressure meets hidden cryptographic dependencies

Modern organizations rely on cryptography across applications, networks, endpoints, cloud services, certificates, libraries, hardware modules and third-party dependencies. Much of this cryptography is distributed, embedded, and insufficiently inventoried. When organizations face modernization, large-scale re-platforming, or post-quantum migration, the absence of a reliable inventory becomes a practical blocker: you cannot replace what you cannot locate and characterize.

Public guidance on migration to post-quantum cryptography explicitly treats discovery and inventory as a foundational workstream, including the use of automated discovery and inventory tools as inputs to risk-based roadmaps.

What “cryptographic discovery” is (and is not)

Cryptographic discovery is the systematic identification and inventory of cryptography in real systems: where cryptography exists, what it protects, how it is implemented, and how it is governed.

The category matters because cryptography often hides in code, dependencies, network services, certificates, appliances, and managed cloud components. When it is not inventoried, migrations become slow, risky and difficult to govern.

Inventory enables prioritisation, then a roadmap

Large cryptographic change programs typically require a disciplined sequence: discovery → inventory → classification and prioritisation → roadmap → execution → continuous monitoring. Discovery and inventory provide the factual substrate needed to decide what must change first, what can be deferred, and what must be coordinated across teams, vendors and environments.

This is especially relevant for post-quantum migration, where organizations must identify instances of quantum-vulnerable public-key cryptography and plan replacement using risk-based approaches.

A practical, non-vendor view

A neutral operating model for cryptographic discovery can be described without prescribing specific tools:

This approach is compatible with crypto-agility programs, certificate and key governance, and broader asset and software supply chain inventories.

Where the banner can extend

Cryptographic discovery intersects with adjacent categories that often appear in large modernization programs: crypto-agility, PQC readiness, certificate management, key governance, software supply chain visibility and operational resilience. The domain is intentionally neutral and can support various governance models without implying endorsement or guarantees.

Focused on the domain name only

A typical acquisition process for CryptographicDiscovery.com can follow standard institutional practice: NDA → strategic discussion → formal offer → escrow → domain transfer. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, the transaction covers only the domain name as an intangible digital asset. No tools, services, consulting, audits, certifications, datasets or regulated activities are included.
