Abstract

Does your distribution need to care about attacks by quantum computers, and if yes, where? Which parts of Fedora already support post-quantum cryptography (PQC), and what still needs to be done? And what does the European Union have to do with any of this?

Answers for these questions, and more, will be provided in this talk. You'll leave with a rough idea whether the risk is relevant for you and why the risk is no longer the only thing driving a migration. Don't expect hyped statements, we'll stick to the technical details and facts. You may learn how to make your OpenPGP key quantum-safe.

Attend if: - you're vaguely aware of what PQC is, but want to learn what it means for your project - you've always wanted to ask that one question about post-quantum cryptography, but haven't found the right person to ask - you are running a distribution's package signing infrastructure, or maintain a package that implements a network protocol
