As Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) deployments expand and adversaries adopt 'store-now, decrypt-later' strategies, operators need empirical data on the cost of migrating critical control interfaces to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This…

When a user sends a message over a wireless network, the message does not travel as-is. It is encrypted, authenticated, encapsulated, and transformed as it descends the protocol stack from the application layer to the physical medium. Each…
