Introduction to Post-Quantum Cryptography

About

Discover the future of digital security in this one-week course on Post-Quantum Cryptography. Dive into the world of cryptosystems designed to run on ordinary computers while standing strong against the power of quantum attacks. Although large-scale quantum computers aren’t here yet, they are expected within the next decade. Now is the time to master post-quantum cryptography and help safeguard the security of our digital world

Course leader

Dr. Simona Samardjiska, Lars Koldewijn-Ran and Krijn Reijnders

Target group

Master, PHD.

The course is open to any interested student. Still in order to be able to follow and learn the material, we advice some knowledge that can be obtained from the following:

An introductory course in cryptography
An introductory course in linear algebra
An introductory course in abstract algebra

Course aim

After this course, you will be able to:

1. Recognize, define and describe post-quantum cryptographic schemes;
2. Understand the design principles of the different families of post-quantum cryptography
3. Understand the ideas and mathematics behind post-quantum cryptography
4. Analyze the security of the different families of post-quantum cryptography
