About us
denhac is a non-profit hackerspace founded in 2008. Er, wait, what’s a hackerspace?
Hackerspaces are for people passionate about teaching, learning, and working on projects in technology, engineering, art, and science. We have everything from a classroom for hosting meetups to fabrication areas for prototyping with 3d printers, laser cutters, woodshop, welders, CNC, electronics, and more. denhac is a 100% volunteer based nonprofit and run like a cooperative by all members.
Interested? Come visit and get a tour during open house, every Tuesday 8pm-11pm or attend any of our public classes and events. Check out our website to learn more: http://denhac.org
Have a group, class, or event? We're happy to host! Please send us a message through our website's contact page.

DC303: Post-Quantum Cybersecurity: Exploring the Quantum Threat Landscape
denhac, 700 Kalamath St., Denver, CO, USSpeaker: Saad Baig
Quantum computing is moving from a theoretical threat to a looming security crisis, and asymmetric cryptography is right in the crosshairs. This talk breaks down exactly how Shor’s algorithm dismantles the public-key foundations—like RSA and ECC—that secure everything from our web traffic to our identities.
We’ll cut through the hype to look at immediate, real-world risks—like "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" and "Trust Now, Forge Later"—to help you pinpoint which of your systems and data are most vulnerable based on their lifespan and value. From there, we’ll dive into NIST’s new post-quantum standards and look at what they actually mean for your PKI, TLS, and enterprise architecture.
To bridge the gap between theory and execution, I'll introduce pqcscan, an open source tool built to scan your infrastructure and hunt down vulnerable public-key implementations before adversaries can exploit them. We’ll wrap up by weighing the tradeoffs of post-quantum cryptography, hybrid rollouts, and quantum key distribution. You'll walk away with a no-nonsense action plan for crypto agility, asset discovery, and the exact steps needed to build a quantum-resilient future.
