Introducing the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance

Overview: Secure communications are not a luxury — they are a foundational requirement for human dignity in the digital age. Our most meaningful conversations, transactions, and decisions demand end-to-end encryption, strong authentication, and verifiable integrity. The notion that "only those with something to hide need strong crypto" is not merely lazy; it is dangerously shortsighted. Privacy is the space where autonomy, intimacy, and authentic human experience thrive. When that space is violated, the

Key Topics: damage ripples far beyond the individual. For decades, classical public-key cryptography has quietly protected everything from online banking to private messaging. That era is ending. Quantum computers are advancing rapidly, and the break of today's asymmetric algorithms — often called the Quantum Apocalypse — is no longer a question of if, but when. The window to prepare is narrowing. Migration must begin now. In this workshop, you'll implement PQC algorithms from the NSA's CNSA Suite 2.0. You'll use C++, OpenSSL and Linux to demonstrate the secure usage of ML-KEM, ML-DSA, AES-256, and SHA-512. You'll leave with clean, reusable code, de

Takeaways: s needed to integrate PQC into real-world systems. We might not all have something to hide, but we all have something worth protecting.
