Migration Planning / Migration Verification & Closure
§5What this is for: Prove migration with the framework's 5-point evidence standard, log classical-key decommissioning (SP 800-88), and record program closure & BAU handover.
What a good answer looks like: Evidence that the old algorithm is gone, not just that the new one works. Both running is the normal state, and it is not done.
Worked example: Fill all five evidence fields for 'Public web TLS (edge)' but three for 'Internal mTLS service mesh', and leave the RSA-4096 root CA key unconfirmed: the badges read Verified and Unverified 3/5, the key row flags TNFL, the header says 1/2.

For your role
- Executive / Business Leader
- Add each system and tick the five evidence points, observed negotiation, negative test, certificate chain under PQC, downgrade documented and evidence in the dossier: a system counts as migrated only when the old algorithm is gone.
- GRC / Risk & Compliance
- Attach an evidence reference to each of the five points per system, log the decommissioning of classical key material with its SP 800-88 method, and complete the closure and BAU handover: the export is the closure evidence.
Migration Verification & Program Closure
Prove migration with the 5-point evidence standard, log classical-key decommissioning per your organization's key-destruction standard, and record closure & BAU handover. Verification ≠ migration.
Verification records · 0/2 verified
A system is Verified only when all five evidence fields are filled — observed negotiation (not configuration), negative testing, cert-chain under PQC, documented downgrade, and evidence in the dossier.
Decommissioning log (classical material)
A retired-but-trusted signing key is a standing Trust-Now-Forge-Later liability — destroy per your organization's key-destruction standard and confirm.
Closure & BAU handover
BAU handover — name the permanent owner of each never-ending capability:
Migration Verification — Export
Export the verification records, decommissioning log, closure decision and BAU handover — the evidence that migration actually happened.

A system runs both the old and the new algorithm. Is it migrated?
