Quantum computing is no longer a distant concept—it’s an imminent challenge to today’s cryptographic standards. The shift to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is not optional; it’s inevitable. Yet, the practical steps for adapting existing applications to PQC, and the critical considerations for ensuring compatibility, remain largely unclear.
This session goes beyond theory. We’ll start with a concise overview of PQC fundamentals, then dive into real-world migration experiences—what worked, what didn’t, and why. Attendees will gain actionable best practices drawn from hands-on projects, offering guidance not only for those planning future migrations but also for developers designing new applications today.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Where do I start?” or “What pitfalls should I avoid?”, this talk will provide the answers—grounded in real-world experience and focused on practical success.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

- Understand the fundamentals of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and why early adoption is critical in the face of quantum computing threats.
- Identify key challenges and pitfalls encountered during real-world PQC migration projects.
- Apply proven best practices for adapting existing applications to PQC while maintaining security and performance.
- Develop a practical roadmap for integrating PQC into both legacy systems and new application designs.
