| | Recapping from part 1: Galileo will soon add cryptographic signatures to the navigation messages. These cryptographic signatures are made with symmetric cryptography, which means clever techniques are required to prevent receivers from impersonating the network. The key to the technique is first signing messages, and only later disclosing the key used for the signatures, thus invalidating it for further use. Receivers can however verify that earlier signatures were indeed made with that key.

| | [AI summary] The transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in TLS and other protocols is a complex and challenging process. While hybrid approaches combining classical and PQC algorithms are currently the most practical, the long-term goal is to adopt pure PQC. The transition will require significant coordination and may be slow due to the diversity of systems involved. However, TLS is better positioned for this transition due to its algorithm agility. The biggest risks include the potential for a sudden quantum computing breakthrough (CRQC) and the difficulty of updating older systems, particularly IoT devices. Overall, the transition is necessary but will take time and effort.
