Seattle PQC Sessions: NIST's 2027 Candidate, Hamming Quasi-Cyclic Codes

Join us at Ada's Lab to learn about the cryptanalysis and security of Hamming Quasi Cyclic Codes. HQC is a NIST candidate for PQC (https://pqc-hqc.org/) which enables public key encryption and key encapsulation and ensures that NIST has a non-lattice option.

Honorable Guest Professor Paulo L. Barretto from the University of Washington is one of the coauthors of the protocol and will deliver a lecture.
