Post Quantum Cryptography in PostgreSQL: why, how and when?
October 20–23
Level: Advanced
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is a set of cryptographic schemes that are assumed to be unbreakable even with the help of a quantum computer. With the advance of quantum computing, PQC is becoming more and more important for the industry and is already finding its way into NIST standards. Which in turn affects many software projects, including PostgreSQL.
In this talk we will try to break through layers of hype and marketing, and discuss the current state of art in PQC and what does it mean for PostgreSQL, what still needs to be done, which versions already support PQC, to what extent and how to verify this.
