OWASP Tallinn: Challenges in Transitioning to Post-Quantum Cryptography

OWASP Tallinn - Vol. 2 - Modern Cryptography

🎤 Speech: Obstacles of migration to post-quantum cryptography

With the rising development of quantum technologies, there is an urgent need to secure existing IT infrastructure against quantum threats. Introducing post-quantum cryptography to present systems could protect them against future quantum computer attacks. Still, post-quantum migration is a challenging process that requires systematic planning and years of execution. In this talk, I will share what are the main migration obstacles in an example of Estonian e-services.
