The QSNS2024 workshop is a collaborative effort between the QUBIP and PQ-REACT projects, both funded by the European Union through the Horizon Europe framework programme, focusing on the transition of protocols, networks, and systems to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
As quantum computing technology advances, it presents both groundbreaking opportunities and significant risks, most notably, the threat to current cryptographic systems posed by quantum-capable adversaries. In response, the global research and industry communities are pursuing two key strategies: (i) the development of PQC algorithms, led by NIST, and (ii) the migration of existing digital infrastructure to PQC-ready solutions.
QSNS2024 will tackle these critical cybersecurity challenges from an engineering standpoint, supporting worldwide efforts to enable a swift and secure shift to post-quantum or hybrid (post-quantum/traditional) cryptographic standards across the digital systems we rely on today.
