Quantum computing is no longer a distant concept—it’s an imminent threat to today’s cryptographic standards. Transitioning to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is inevitable, and early adoption is critical. Yet, practical steps for adapting existing applications and ensuring compatibility remain unclear.
This session goes beyond theory. We’ll start with a concise overview of PQC fundamentals, then share real-world migration insights—what worked, what didn’t, and why. Through lessons learned from hands-on projects, attendees will gain actionable best practices for both future migrations and new application designs.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Where do I start?” or “What pitfalls should I avoid?”, this talk provides answers grounded in real-world experience and focused on practical success.
