The famous « padlock » appearing in browsers when one visits websites whose address is preceded by « https » relies on cryptographic primitives that would not withstand a quantum computer. This integrated project aims to develop in 5 years post-quantum primitives in a prototype of « post-quantum lock » that will be implemented in an open source browser. The evolution of cryptographic standards has already started, the choice of new primitives will be made quickly, and the transition will be made in the next few years. The objective is to play a driving role in this evolution and to make sure that the French actors of post-quantum cryptography, already strongly involved, are able to influence the cryptographic standards of the decades to come.
Purpose of this days
Wednesday 28th afternoon has been designed for giving the opportunity for each researcher involve in the project to work together in the same place.
Thursday 29th at the ENS aims to give a perspective of future standards and also at submissions to the NIST call for signatures.
Regarding future standards, this will take the form of a presentation of the scheme, but also information on its "maturity level" (optimized implementation, resistance to side channels, etc.).
Friday 30th at the Campus Cyber, we would like to gather all French start-ups, so that computer specialist understand how the different technologies of quantum computer design work. How the various technologies involved in designing a quantum computer work, in order to initiate collaborations or discussions between communities.
Purpose of the registration fees
The registration fees are there only to cover the logistical expenses and will include.
