The PKI Consortium is excited to host its third hybrid Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Conference on Wednesday, January 15, and Thursday, January 16, 2025. The event will take place at the Thompson Conference Center, University of Texas, Austin, Texas, US.
This conference is a premier gathering for decision-makers, technical leaders, and industry influencers from both public and private sectors who are deeply invested in the future of cryptography. Attendees can expect a diverse program featuring keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and panel discussions led by thought leaders in PQC.
We are proud to be headline sponsors for this event in Texas where we will be exhibiting and also our VP of Product Dr Axel Poschmann will be speaking on – “Quantum-Safe Secure Boot: How hard can it be?”:
Secure boot is hard. Quantum-safe secure boot is even harder. It starts with the choice of a suitable algorithm. On the signature verification side, conflicting regulatory requirements on Post-Quantum/Traditional (PQ/T) hybrid mean there is no silver-bullet, while on the signature generation side, key management challenges and the lack of available end-to-end quantum-safe solutions further complicate the decision process.
In this talk we highlight open issues at various stages of the secure boot lifecycle.
We hope to see you in Texas!
