Welcome to the PAREK Framework repository. Here you will find the full Markdown source, assets and build tooling for the PAREK Framework: EU Post‑Quantum Cryptography Transition Handbook.
Live handbook preview → https://www.pqc.lt
Contact → hello@pqc.lt
The handbook is a practitioner‑oriented guide that stitches together the latest EU regulations, NIST standards, and academic research into a five‑stage lifecycle—Post‑quantum asset & algorithm inventory, Assessment of quantum risk, Road‑mapping & readiness planning, Execution & migration, and Key‑governance & continuous improvement (P‑A‑R‑E‑K).
This repository keeps each numbered section in its own Markdown file so you can:
- Edit chapters independently via pull requests.
- Generate PDFs/HTML with Pandoc or MkDocs.
- Track issues per chapter.
Below you’ll see the official ToC (gap‑free numbering). Each bullet links to the corresponding Markdown file that lives in this repo.
