Systems and methods for device grouping based on quantum resistant encryption capability

A system comprising:

• a first non-quantum-resistant (NQR) device configured to generate first data;
• and
• a first quantum capable proxy server configured to receive the first data, encrypt the first data using a quantum resistant (QR) protocol to generate first QR data, and communicate the first QR data to a first target device using a first QR channel,
• wherein:
• the first NQR device and the first quantum capable proxy server are connected to a first network;
• the first target device comprises a second NQR device connected to a second network separate from the first network;
• the second NQR device is connected to a second quantum capable proxy server in the second network;
• the first QR channel connects the first quantum capable proxy server to the second quantum capable proxy server;
• the first NQR device is configured to encrypt the first data using a NQR encryption protocol to generate first NQR data;
• the first quantum capable proxy server is configured to encrypt the first NQR data to generate the first QR data;
• and
• at least one of the first NQR device or the first quantum capable proxy server comprises a hardware processor.
