ETSI 2nd Quantum-Safe Crypto Workshop in partnership with the IQC

Introduction

Goals of this workshop

In early 2013 the IQC and ETSI brought together the conventional cryptography community and the quantum cryptography community with the goal of developing a vision for how these communities could jointly make an effort to create a quantum-safe cryptographic environment. It was the aim of the 1st Quantum-Safe Crypto workshop to understand how these diverse communities could co-operate in order to standardize and deploy the next-generation cryptographic infrastructure, in particular, one that will be secure in a future with quantum computers.
During the 2nd Quantum-Safe Crypto workshop, participants will build on results of the first workshop and develop short and medium term objectives needed to reach the goal of a quantum-safe cryptographic infrastructure. Such objectives could include, for example, a standard for combining a battle-tested conventional key-establishment algorithm with a quantum-safe key establishment protocol, other study items or pre-standards, etc.
In order to achieve these goals, stakeholders are encouraged to start new standardization work within ETSI (either new groups and/or expand the role of some existing groups).
The event is free and is open to all upon registration.

Target Audience

The targeted audience consists of the key players and decision makers in deploying a global quantum-safe cryptographic infrastructure. This includes implementers of conventional post-quantum cryptography (i.e. crypto algorithms resistant against quantum computers), QKD implementers, implementers of cryptography and security tools and systems (which will need quantum-safe cryptographic primitives)), first industry and government adopters of quantum-safe tools, standardization bodies, and anyone else interested in moving now to be a part of creating the quantum-safe cryptographic infrastructure for the future.

Conference Proceedings

ETSI will publish all presentations and associated articles from this workshop, given the agreements of the authors.
