Description

Post-quantum cryptography — the study of cryptographic schemes capable of withstanding attackers equipped with both classical and quantum computers — is an area of research that has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, also due to the initiation of a standardization effort by NIST, which has led to the selection of the first schemes to standardise. More recently, the focus has been on post-quantum digital signature schemes, which are the subject of the latest NIST competition, and on the transition towards quantum-safe cryptography in real-world applications. This workshop will provide an overview of the state of the art of post-quantum cryptosystems and of the migration process towards them.

Call for Presentations

If you have a proposal for a talk, please send an abstract of maximum 2 pages to federico.pintore@unitn.it and alessio.caminata@unige.it. Submissions will be subject to a rolling review, i.e. abstracts will be evaluated as soon as the organising committee receives them. Proposals that will be deemed suitable for presentation at the workshop (by criteria of novelty, significance, and potential to spark discussion among the community) will be accepted within a short time frame (a few working days). The call will be closed once the time capacity of the workshop will be reached, or by the 10th of August at the latest. Note that the rolling review process favours earlier submissions.

Important Dates

Abstract submission — From July 15, 2025 to August 10, 2025
ReAdPQC25 — September 12, 2025
