System and method for establishing a quantum resistant temporal encryption and data aging communications protocol

A method, comprising:

• accessing a post quantum cryptography (PQC) key and sensitive data to be transmitted to a computing device over a communication channel;
• determining, based at least in part on the sensitive data, an expiration time beyond which the sensitive data is rendered unreadable, wherein the expiration time is identified based at least in part on an estimated future time at which a quantum computing based decryption process can be utilized to read the sensitive data;
• encoding the sensitive data based at least in part on the PQC key, wherein the PQC key is associated with the expiration time;
• and
• transmitting, over the communication channel, the encoded sensitive data to the computing device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more quantum processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• access a post quantum cryptography (PQC) key and sensitive data to be transmitted to a computing device over a communication channel;
• determine, based at least in part on the sensitive data, an expiration time beyond which the sensitive data is rendered unreadable, wherein the expiration time is identified based at least in part on an estimated future time at which a quantum computing based decryption process can be utilized to read the sensitive data;
• encode the sensitive data based at least in part on the PQC key, wherein the PQC key is associated with the expiration time;
• and
• transmit, over the communication channel, the encoded sensitive data to the computing device.
