Shorter TLS Series: The Future of PQC

Dustin Moody of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) delivers a comprehensive look at the state of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and what comes next. This session will cover NIST’s PQC standards work, the standards already published, and ongoing and future efforts, including Falcon, HQC, and the post-quantum “onramp.” Attendees will gain insight into migration timelines, the NCCoE Migration to PQC project, and considerations shaping the U.S. government’s transition to quantum-resistant cryptography. The session will conclude with a practical enterprise lens, connecting NIST’s guidance to the operational realities of automation, crypto-agility, and the critical role of certificate lifecycle management in executing a successful PQC transition with Sectigo's Tim Callan.
