European scope
Covering regulated sectors and critical providers across Europe.
Measuring Europe’s transition to quantum‑safe cryptography.
The European Post‑Quantum Readiness Index is an open research initiative that tracks publicly observable signals of post‑quantum cryptography adoption across Europe’s regulated sectors.
Evidence‑based
Built on publicly observable data from authoritative sources.
Actionable insight
Turning fragmented signals into clear, comparable readiness insight.

THE INDEX
A framework for tracking publicly observable PQC readiness signals.
1. Digital presence & identifiers
Official domains, LEIs and organisational identifiers.
2. Crypto exposure
Public-facing systems, certificates and encryption in use.
3. PQC signals
Public statements, policies, roadmaps and pilots.
4. Governance & strategy
Cyber governance, risk management and board oversight.
5. Ecosystem & supply chain
Third-party providers and technology dependencies.
Evidence & sources
All indicators link to transparent, citable public sources.
Pilot data
Explore the first population.
The first release connects the ECB significant-institution population with LEIs, countries, entity types and public domains. It is the source population for the research, not a public readiness score. No institution is rated here.
| Institution | Country | LEI / ID | Domain | Type |

Research
A paper, dataset and living reference.
The paper defines the population, indicator model, reproducibility requirements and limitations. The website becomes the navigable research artefact and versioned evidence layer.
Working title
A European Post‑Quantum Readiness Index for Regulated Sectors: A Public‑Signal Methodology and Financial‑Sector Pilot
The initial contribution is a transparent method for measuring publicly observable transition signals. It does not claim to know confidential internal readiness.

What the Index measures.
No invented numbers and no black-box score. Each indicator must be observable, attributable to a source and reproducible by an independent researcher.
01
Digital presence and identifiers
Official domains, LEIs, supervisory identifiers, legal entities and operating entities.
02
Public cryptographic exposure
Externally observable certificates, protocols and public-facing cryptographic systems.
03
PQC signals
Published roadmaps, procurement language, pilots, standards references and disclosed implementation work.
04
Governance and strategy
Public evidence of ownership, risk governance, board attention and transition planning.
05
Ecosystem and supply chain
Critical suppliers, product dependencies and publicly stated supplier migration positions.
06
Evidence quality
Source authority, publication date, retrieval date, reproducibility and explicit uncertainty.
Data
Open inputs and source traceability.
Every public record should preserve the real source URL, publication date, retrieval date and methodology version. The underlying authority remains citable.
EU finance pilot dataset
110 significant European banking groups with LEI or branch identifier, country, entity type, designated operating entity where applicable, and public domain.
Country is the entity’s LEI registration jurisdiction, which can differ from the brand’s operating country. Type follows the ECB classification: CI credit institution, FH financial holding, MFH mixed financial holding, BR branch. Entity and domain mappings are being validated and may change before measurement.

About
Open research with a practical purpose.
The initiative gives researchers, policy teams, regulated organisations and their suppliers a common, evidence-based reference for the post-quantum transition.
Independent and reproducible
Methods, sources and limitations are published so findings can be checked and challenged.
Developed as university research
Built at Kaunas University of Technology, co-funded by the European Union, with a path to wider European collaboration.
Open and reusable
The public evidence is a shared reference that organisations, regulators and researchers can build on.
