Prepare for the post-quantum future!

On Wednesday, December 3, 2025 (from 9:30 AM to 4:45 PM CEST), Elektor Academy Pro is hosting a one-day online conference in English on the importance of post-quantum cryptography for embedded and (I)IoT systems. This event will provide security and cryptography experts, managers responsible for PQC strategy, and academics interested in practical use cases with valuable insights and knowledge they can immediately apply in their projects and share with their teams and companies.

Why a conference on PQC?

It remains unclear when post-quantum computers will be available that can crack traditional cryptographic algorithms like RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) or ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography). Whether that takes 5, 10, 15, or more years, when that day arrives, companies and their security experts must be prepared for the so-called Q Day. This is especially true for companies in the embedded and IoT sectors, where components are often designed for a long lifespan. A significant risk is "collect now, decrypt later" attacks, in which encrypted data is intercepted now and decrypted later by quantum computers.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) launched a call for new algorithms resistant to quantum computer attacks back in 2017. The first three official NIST standards for post-quantum cryptography were published in August 2024 and represent the first official algorithms resistant to quantum attacks. This summer, an EU working group published a "Coordinated Roadmap for the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography" with recommendations that member states must implement for a synchronized transition to PQC. Similar initiatives are underway in other regions.

What to expect from the online conference

The PQC conference offers a compact yet comprehensive learning experience, with six practical 45-minute presentations followed by 15 minutes of Q&A.

During the presentations, participants will:
  • see what the current state of affairs is regarding PQC standardization and how this can be applied in real projects 
  • learn more about the challenges of crypto agility and the opportunities of moving to PQC 
  • see how the transition to PQC can be implemented technically and on time based on the EU ECCG recommendation 
  • gain insights into crypto-agility in real-time automotive systems within the context of post-quantum cryptography
  • Post-Quantum Cryptography in eMRTDs: Evaluating PAKE and PKI for Travel Documents
