Unlocking Code-Based Cryptography: Simona Etinski at PQCSA Summer School 2025 🔐

Simona Etinski - "Code-Based Cryptography" (PQCSA summer school 2025)

PQCSA summer school in Albena, Bulgaria (16-20 June 2025)

The goal of this PQCSA summer school was to introduce the fundamentals of PQC, its necessity, and the current threat landscape. Participants explored the proposed PQC algorithms, including those chosen by NIST. We examined the practical challenges of PQC standardisation and integration. During the school we discussed integration challenges and best practices for deploying PQC in real-world systems. Some talks discussed future research directions beyond KEM/Signature schemes.
