As technology advances, so does the need for stronger and more secure methods of encryption. With the advent of quantum computing, traditional cryptographic methods may soon become obsolete, making it crucial for businesses to prepare for post-quantum cryptography.

One challenge with post-quantum cryptography is that every piece of information that’s encrypted today and intended to remain secret for many years is at risk of being broken in the future.

This session will provide an introduction to the challenges introduced by quantum computing and why all companies need to get ready for it, in particular if they are producing code and developing software.

I will introduce the notion of crypto agility and give concrete examples of how a software company, developing a password manager, has embarked on that journey to ensure the long-term security of their customers.
