Training

This training provides an in-depth, hands-on introduction to the two main pillars of quantum-safe cryptography: Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

In the first session, we explore the current state of PQC, focusing on leading quantum-resistant algorithms. Participants engage in practical exercises using established cryptographic libraries that implement PQC standards.

The second session focuses on the principles and practical integration of QKD into modern communication infrastructures. We demonstrate how QKD enables secure key exchange by leveraging quantum mechanics, with hands-on experience using QKD technology in real-world implementation scenarios.

Designed for cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and engineers seeking practical knowledge and skills for a quantum-secure future.
