Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization at IETF - Challenges and Implementation

Explore the latest developments in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standardization at the IETF in this 29-minute presentation by Software Security Architect Mike Ounsworth from Entrust. Gain insights into the unique challenges cryptographic engineers face when implementing PQC primitives, which differ significantly from traditional RSA and ECC algorithms. Learn about the ongoing integration of PQC into Internet protocols, examining newly standardized algorithms including ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, ML-KEM, LMS, and XMSS. Discover strategies for successful deployment and understand the research findings on PKI PQ/traditional hybrid modes that offer enhanced security and migration flexibility during the transition to post-quantum computing.
