    Challenges in the post-quantum transition

    The advent of efficient quantum computers presents a significant threat to contemporary cryptographic systems, necessitating a transition to quantum-safe alternatives. With several security agencies recommending the migration of critical systems and services by 2035, addressing this challenge has become a pressing priority. This talk explores some of the technical challenges associated with this upcoming transition.
