Workshop Abstract
-
The rapid progress in quantum computing presents an imminent threat to traditional cryptographic systems. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is at the forefront of global efforts to ensure digital security, yet its maturity and implementation challenges remain under scrutiny.
This 45-minute session, “The State of Affairs of Post-Quantum Cryptography,” will provide a snapshot of the current PQC landscape, focusing on:
Software Readiness & Implementation Challenges:
How PQC algorithms integrate into modern security architectures, cloud systems, and enterprise software. Key performance trade-offs and practical considerations for transitioning cryptographic frameworks. AI-driven cryptanalysis and optimization for PQC implementations.
Hardware Integration & Feasibility:
The impact of PQC on hardware security modules (HSMs), FPGA/ASIC designs, and secure embedded systems. Computational overhead, efficiency concerns, and practical adoption in constrained environments. Potential hardware vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies in PQC implementations.
Future Adoption & Standardization:
Updates on NIST PQC standardization efforts and industry compliance trends. Challenges in deploying post-quantum secure systems at scale. The role of interdisciplinary collaboration in ensuring a smooth PQC transition. By bridging theoretical advancements with real-world deployment challenges, this session will offer valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and decision-makers preparing for the quantum-secure future.
