Welcome to the PQ-REACT conversations with our experts series! Your decryption key to the future of cryptography!

In this series, we dive into one of the most critical transitions of our digital age, the shift from classical to post-quantum cryptography. As quantum computing rapidly evolves, so does the urgency to secure our digital systems.

The PQ-REACT project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme, is on a mission to design, develop and validate a framework for a faster and smoother transition from classical to post-quantum cryptography for a wide variety of contexts and usage domains. This framework will include PQC migration paths and cryptographic agility methods, and will develop a portfolio of tools for validating post-quantum cryptographic systems, allowing users to switch to post-quantum cryptography while considering their individual needs and various contexts.

And yes, we’re even putting real quantum computers to the test!

Join us as we sit down with our project’s experts to explore the buzzing world of quantum threats, cryptographic innovation, and how PQ-REACT is paving the way for a more secure, post-quantum future.

Stay tuned as we decode the future!
