Quantum Presentation: Starting Your Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (Q21c)

The transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is underway and in just a few months NIST will announce their Round 3 selections, naming the first set of PQC algorithms to be standardized.  These Round 3 selections will kick off the first wave of PQC updates to commonly used security protocols, even as the NIST PQC activity continues for several years.  In parallel with these standardization activities, users and organizations across the Internet can and should start planning now for their own migrations to PQC.  This session will explore the current landscape of the PQC transition including projected timelines for PQC deliverables from NIST and other standards bodies, concrete steps to take today to prepare for your own transition to PQC, and what resources are available to help.
