Post-Quantum Cryptography and Networks Workshop.
Location: Special event prior to the NIST Fourth PQC Standardization Conference.
Date: November 27 and 28, 2022.
Time: From 3pm CET (9am EDT / 6am PT) onwards.
Modality: Online.
The past years have witnessed the advances of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) as part of the on-going NIST process in order to provide protection against quantum adversaries. But, one of the most challenging aspects that we are currently facing is how to integrate these algorithms into the networks, protocols and systems that we use today.
The Post-Quantum and Networks workshop serves to bring together the industry, academia and standardization bodies to think about the task of integrating post-quantum algorithms to networks and systems we use today. It aims to think around it from an efficiency, usability, deployability, and privacy perspective. It aims to highlight the importance and challenges of deploying these algorithms into real-world networks, as well as of standardizing these complex cryptographic protocols.
This is the third edition of our event and, on this one we will focus on:
