Detail PQ-ReadySec 01/04
Progress in quantum computing is increasing the long-term risk to widely deployed public-key cryptography used in network security protocols, digital identity, software distribution, and critical infrastructure protection. PQ-ReadySec 2026 provides a focused international forum on the practical, operational, and strategic aspects of post-quantum cybersecurity readiness and migration, with particular emphasis on a layered Quantum-Safe Stack that combines crypto-agility, infrastructure resilience, secure system migration, organizational readiness, and compliance practices. The workshop especially encourages interdisciplinary contributions spanning cryptography, cybersecurity engineering, AI-assisted security operations, risk management, and regulatory perspectives.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to 02/04
- Crypto-agility architectures, models, methodologies and migration frameworks
- Hybrid classical-post-quantum cryptography deployment and interoperability
- Quantum-Safe stack architectures and reference models (crypto, identity, networking, operations, governance)
- Security orchestration and automation supporting PQ transitions (policy-as-code, CI/CD security controls)
- Post-quantum PKI, certificate lifecycle management, and secure digital identity modernization
- Quantum threat modeling, cyber resilience metrics, and readiness maturity assessment
- Quantum-safe security for critical infrastructure, industrial systems, and safety-relevant environments
- PQ security challenges in cloud computing, IoT environments, and distributed systems
- Secure software supply chain and update mechanisms under PQ constraints
- Incident response and operational security in PQ environments
- AI methods applied to post-quantum cybersecurity operations (detection, triage, migration assistance)
- Automated vulnerability detection and remediation for legacy cryptography and deprecated algorithms
- Security orchestration and automation supporting PQ transitions
- Standardization, compliance, and regulatory developments relevant to PQ readiness and migration
- Human factors, training, change management, and organizational adoption of quantum-safe practices
