Greetings everyone,
We are excited to invite you to the kickoff session of the OPTIMIST Hour on Testing Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Implementation Security, taking place on Thursday, March 27, at 3 PM GMT (11 AM EDT) via Zoom.
OPTIMIST (Open Tools, Interfaces, and Metrics for Implementation Security Testing) is an open-source initiative aimed at improving standardization and interoperability in security testing for cryptographic implementations. As PQC schemes move toward real-world deployment, ensuring their resilience against implementation attacks is critical. This session will bring together researchers, industry professionals, and government stakeholders to discuss challenges, methodologies, and best practices for securing PQC implementations.
The kickoff event will feature several keynotes (TBA), followed by an interactive discussion on key areas of concern and collaborative efforts moving forward. Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, or simply interested in cryptographic security, we encourage you to join us and contribute to this important conversation.
Date & Time: Thursday, March 27, 3 PM GMT | 11 AM EDT
