While large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers are still in development, today’s noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices and quantum annealers are already being applied to real-world problems. One of the most promising areas is combinatorial optimization—complex challenges such as supply chain optimization, portfolio management, drug discovery, and scheduling. These problems grow exponentially in complexity and often overwhelm […]

The NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has established a Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography project focused on supporting the adoption of PQC standards. This effort includes two major workstreams: Cryptographic Visibility and Risk Management – building comprehensive cryptographic inventories to guide migration strategies Interoperability and Benchmarking – supporting vendors and organizations implementing PQC algorithms […]

OpenSSL plays a central role in securing internet communications, making it a critical platform for integrating PQC into real-world systems. As PQC algorithms move toward standardization, support for hybrid and quantum-resistant key exchange and signatures is emerging within OpenSSL and related libraries. This session explores how PQC is being incorporated into OpenSSL, including provider-based architectures, […]

This talk will give an overview of post-quantum encryption and digital signature primitives recently standardized by NIST to which a lot of governments and organizations are currently transitioning. The session will also give a brief description of additional algorithms that are currently in the pipeline at NIST and talk about what kind of challenges one […]

Modern digital security depends on cryptographic systems like RSA and elliptic curve cryptography, which rely on the computational difficulty of problems such as integer factorization and discrete logarithms. Quantum computers fundamentally change this equation. Algorithms like Shor’s algorithm could enable sufficiently powerful quantum machines to break these widely used encryption schemes, putting sensitive data, communications, […]
