Publication number: 20250103737Abstract: A computing entity generates a data instance comprising a plurality of data fields; and protects a data field value using a post quantum cryptography (PQC) cryptographic technique to generate protected text for the data field value. Protecting the data field value comprises at least one of (a) encrypting the data field value, (b) tokenizing the data field value, or (c) electronically signing the data field value. The computing entity updates the data instance to remove a plaintext version of the data field value from the data field of the plurality of data fields and to include the protected text in the data field; updates an annotation corresponding to the data instance to indicate (a) that the data field is protected and (b) the PQC cryptographic technique used to protect the data field; and provides the data instance to be stored by a data repository.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2020Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Brad A.
