Post-Quantum Cryptography Integration in Internet Protocols - IETF Progress

Explore the challenges and progress of integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) into common Internet protocols in this 44-minute conference talk by Mike Ounsworth, Software Security Architect at Entrust. Gain insights into how PQC primitives differ from RSA and ECC predecessors, necessitating substantial protocol and application redesigns. Learn about the IETF's efforts to engineer a smooth migration of Internet systems within a tight timeline. Discover the speaker's personal research on PKI PQ/Traditional hybrid modes, which aim to enhance both security and migration flexibility. Understand the impact of PQC on cryptographic engineering and the ongoing work to adapt Internet infrastructure for the post-quantum era.
