Post-quantum authentication must work on inexpensive devices, intermittent networks, and systems with limited technical support. A practical solution must avoid forcing vulnerable populations to replace all hardware at once. The solution must work with limited capital, intermittent services, and local maintenance capacity. The research opportunity is to define measurable success criteria, test the approach in realistic settings, identify failure modes, and create a pathway from prototype to accountable deployment.
