The Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography - Open-Source Innovations and Interoperability

Learn to prepare your infrastructure for the quantum-safe future through this hands-on conference talk that addresses the urgent need to migrate from RSA and ECC cryptography before NIST's 2030 deprecation deadline. Explore the complexities of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration beyond simple algorithm replacement, focusing on interoperability challenges, hybrid deployment strategies, and large-scale implementation realities. Follow along as the session demonstrates setting up a PQC-hybrid Public Key Infrastructure using open-source tools including EJBCA, Bouncy Castle cryptographic APIs, and OpenSSL. Master the generation and management of hybrid certificates while staying current with evolving standards and protocols. Discover practical integration methods for incorporating PQC into existing systems that maintain compatibility with current infrastructure while positioning for future quantum threats. Gain insights into crypto agility strategies and composite cryptography approaches that ensure your organization's security architecture remains resilient against the approaching quantum computing revolution.
