The threat of quantum computers to cryptography and, more broadly, computer security, is something that gets a little closer to reality every passing day. But what this means for real-world software can be confusing. When (and how) do we need to be ready? What do we need to do now to be ready when quantum computers come? In this talk, Hart Montgomery will explain what open source software projects, companies, and anyone who relies on cryptography need to do to protect themselves against the quantum threats of the future. He will explain projected timelines of when quantum attacks against cryptography could be viable, and then discuss what this means for software and data today. By the end of the talk, attendees will understand how to “threat model” quantum computing for their software or company needs and be better informed on how to make decisions regarding updating cryptography. In addition, Hart will explain how the tools of the LF’s PQCA project can be used to mitigate quantum threats. This talk will require no mathematical or cryptographic background to understand and will be aimed at business leaders who need to lead their companies in the transition to post-quantum cryptography.
