With the incoming assessment of NIST's post quantum cryptography standardization in the United States, the European Union and Asian countries have also paid great attention to it. The digital world of all countries in the world will also face the migration of a next generation of public key cryptosystem. This trend is bound to trigger a new round of IT industrial reform and promote the development of the global digital economy. Therefore, this 2nd Yanqi Lake International PQC Standardization and Application Workshop & 6th Asia PQC Forum invites famous experts from the international post quantum cryptography community to discuss the development trend of PQC standardazition in the future, so as to provide suggestions for the global economic recovery and development in the coming post epidemic era.

Schedule

In the forum, Dustin Moody will introduce NIST's announce about their results of algorithm selection in the PQC standardization process.

Title: Finally! – NIST makes its announcement

Abstract: After three rounds of evaluation and analysis, NIST has revealed which PQC algorithms have been selected for standardization. They also announced which algorithms will continue on into the fourth round. In this talk, I will recap the third round, and go into more detail on the choices NIST made, and the reasons why they made those choices.
