Abstract
Eric Amador from Thales joins the show to discuss pqctoday.com, an open initiative designed to simplify quantum-safe migration. Discover how browser-based cryptographic tools and AI help organizations understand upcoming global timelines, test new algorithms like ML-KEM without friction, and prepare for the quantum threat.
What you’ll learn
- How WebAssembly allows users to test ML-KEM and ML-DSA directly in a browser without complex installations.
- The strategic differences in regional migration timelines between Australia, the United States, and global standards bodies.
- Why modern cryptographic migration requires a focus on long-term governance rather than a simple algorithm swap.
- How AI technology curates specific preparation tracks for developers, DevOps teams, and executives.
About Eric Amador
Eric Amador, a Product Manager at Thales, recognized that organizations struggle to find clear, actionable details on post-quantum preparation. To address this gap, he launched an open initiative that helps security teams simulate post-quantum protocols instantly. The platform uses AI to summarize complex document updates from IETF volunteers and standard bodies such as NIST. By focusing on education and awareness, the platform helps security leaders build a business case for crypto-agility before engaging with commercial vendors.
Eric Amador brings years of hands-on product experience across multiple industries, guiding technical professionals and executives through cryptographic transitions. He currently manages product strategies at Thales while running open-source initiatives to democratize quantum-safe security tools.
