Post-Quantum Crypto - Today’s Defense Against Tomorrow’s Quantum Hacker

This course aims to educate learners on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) as a defense mechanism against potential threats posed by quantum computers in the future. By the end of the course, students will understand the principles of PQC, its integration into real-life protocols and applications, and the practical implications of implementing PQC in various devices. The course teaches skills such as experimenting with PQC using open-source tools like OpenSSL, OpenSSH, and OpenVPN, and demonstrates a full PQC TLS 1.3 connection. The teaching method involves a presentation of concepts, lessons learned from prototype integrations, and a practical demo. This course is intended for individuals interested in cryptography, cybersecurity, and staying ahead of emerging threats in the digital landscape.
