All interested are welcome. Coffee and snacks served.
AGENDA:
14:00h Welcome to AFSecurity at UiO
14:15h Invited talk
- TITLE: The Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography
- SPEAKER: Martijn Stam, Chief Research Scientist, Simula UiB
- ABSTRACT: You may have heard that quantum computers pose a threat to the cryptography we use today. The coming years will see a massive shift where old cryptography must be replaced by quantum-safe alternatives, and the time for businesses and organizations to act has now come.
In this seminar we will explain why migration to post-quantum cryptography has become necessary and urgent, and address the challenges associated with the migration, both from a practical user-oriented perspective as well as from that of an academic researcher.
15:00h Discussion.
