SOSS Fusion 2024

Cryptography is a fundamental cornerstone of cybersecurity, omnipresent for every engineer. As quantum computing advances rapidly and NIST standardizes new algorithms, the urgency of preparing for its impact on cybersecurity grows. Join our educational journey into Crypto Agility and Quantum Readiness. This presentation empowers engineers and security experts with tools to understand and navigate quantum-resistant cryptography, and conduct hands-on experiments tailored to your use cases. Our talk addresses: "What is the quantum computing threat, and what can I do about it?" We will explore the landscape of quantum-ready security and different migration scenarios, emphasizing the need for crypto agility. This includes reassessing and updating standard protocols and security mechanisms such as mTLS and x.509 certificates. We will provide an overview of current standardization efforts, including European and American initiatives. Emphasizing the importance of community collaboration, we aim to achieve high-quality, interoperable cryptographic implementations.
