PQC migration in practice

Many people are already aware that quantum computers are a threat to the cryptography we rely on for digital security. We need to replace vulnerable cryptography with post-quantum alternatives, but where and how should you get started on this task in your own organisation?

This full-day workshop on the ground floor in Merkantilen, Thormøhlensgate 53, will provide you with a good understanding of the threat that quantum computers pose for cryptography and what to do about it. The emphasis will be on what Norwegian businesses and organizations should do in practice to migrate to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

In more detail, you will learn about

how to determine the parts of your IT infrastructure that are most critical to upgrade
tools that will help you discover all the cryptography that exist deep inside your systems
how to make a concrete plan for replacing vulnerable cryptography
technical details about the quantum-safe algorithms to be introduced, highlighting potential issues that might arise when integrating them in your system.

The workshop is part of the NorPQC project, an RCN-funded joint project between Simula UiB and DNV Cyber for facilitating the PQC migration in Norway.
