Secure Early Bird Tickets for Elektor Conference on PQC

Are you interested in the future of cryptography and security? Early registration is now open for the online conference ‘Post-Quantum Cryptography’ scheduled for 1 October 2025. By securing your ticket at the early bird price of only €229 before 3 September 2025, you can ensure your spot at this informative event.

Hosted by Elektor Academy Pro, the full-day conference will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. CEST. The focus will be on the significance of post-quantum cryptography for embedded and (I)IoT systems. Experts in the field will share insights on the latest trends, best practices, and innovative implementations of PQC for these systems. The event targets security and cryptography specialists, PQC strategists, and scientists interested in practical applications.

Why is Post-Quantum Cryptography important now? The emergence of post-quantum computers capable of breaking traditional cryptographic algorithms like RSA and ECC poses a potential threat. Companies need to be prepared for the eventual arrival of these quantum computers, known as Q Day. This is especially crucial for businesses in the embedded and IoT sectors, where components are designed for long-term use and may be vulnerable to future quantum attacks.

In response to the looming threat, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated the development of new algorithms to defend against quantum computer attacks in 2017. The first three official NIST standards for post-quantum cryptography were released in August 2024, providing resistance to quantum attacks. Efforts are underway globally, with the EU and other regions working on coordinated roadmaps for transitioning to PQC.

What can you expect from the online conference? The event offers a comprehensive learning experience with six 45-minute presentations followed by 15-minute Q&A sessions. Topics covered include the latest PQC standardization efforts, post-quantum security in embedded storage, crypto agility challenges, and technical insights on transitioning to PQC based on EU recommendations.

Why should you register early? Participants will have the opportunity to engage in live Q&A sessions after each presentation and connect with peers in moderated video breakout rooms. All sessions will be recorded for on-demand viewing, and participants will receive a certificate of participation. Take advantage of the Early Bird ticket price of €229 before 4 September to secure your spot at this valuable conference.
