The Crypto Apocalypse and Post Quantum Cryptography - Round II

Details
I'd like to announce a tech talk in post quantum cryptography (what a scary title). In August 2015, NSA announced transitioning to Quantum Resistant Algorithms (QRAs) because the advent of a practical quantum computer will create a crypto apocalypse that breaks all commonly used public key cryptographic algorithms and impacts private key and hash based algorithms. This introductory and accessible talk will discuss the current state of building a quantum computer, the impacts to the current infrastructure and protocols, NIST’s role, process and status for the new algorithms and practical considerations for future proofing security investments. I will also provide project ideas for students and practitioners alike.
Please join us and invite others as we'd like to make this accessible and learn together and there are many opportunities to learn, grow and contribute!
