Data supporting the PhD thesis: Moving to the Quantum Era: A Stage-Based Growth Approach for Organizations Navigating the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography

This research aims to identify key challenges involved in Quantum-safe (QS) transition and provide actionable guidance for organizations to overcome the challenges and transition towards QS Public Key Infrastructure. This research develops a stages of growth model for supporting organizations in their QS transition and presents a novel approach in identifying different stages of growth model and discontinuities by using the Interpretive Structural Modelling & Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication (ISM-MICMAC) approach. The datasets include three ZIP archives containing PDF files, as described below.

1. Workshop Slides: This datasets contain workshop slides about the research, workshop objectives, research methods, instructions, and preliminary results.

2. Growth model iterations: This dataset contains workshop-based iterative versions of the growth model, documenting revisions from one iteration to the next.

3. Interview and workshop protocols: This dataset contains interview and workshop protocols. This includes internal research documentation, including email templates, participant request materials, consent-related text, and scheduling information.
