Quantum Safe Field Migration Planning Course- Internet Security
and
RISC-V Quantum Safe Hardware Security Seminar
-----
This event features Dr. Douglas Stebila from the University of Waterloo in Canada, who is also a co-founder of the Open Quantum Safe Project. He will share insights on how industries related to network security, communications, and IDC should respond to the advent of the post-quantum era, and how to plan and prepare for a quantum-safe transition.
We have also invited Dr. Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen from the University of Tampere in Finland, who is the chair of the PQC Working Group at the RISC-V International Organization, to share how post-quantum hardware security can be implemented on RISC-V.

[Abstract & Speakers]:
"Quantum Safe Field Migration Planning Course: Preparing for post-quantum cryptography on the Internet"
Abstract: In 2022, the US National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) selected an initial slate of quantum-resistant algorithms to be standardized. Attention now turns to how to integrate these algorithms into protocols and applications. In this talk, I will give an update on the adoption of post-quantum cryptography in Internet protocols such as TLS. I'll discuss options such as whether to replace traditional algorithms entirely with post-quantum, or whether to use traditional and post-quantum algorithms simultaneously in a hybrid mode, and examine some possibilities for redesigning protocols to accommodate the new characteristics of post-quantum cryptography. I will also give an update on new initiatives in post-quantum open source software, including the activities of the new Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance.
Speaker: Dr. Douglas Stebila is an Associate Professor of cryptography in the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo. His research focuses on improving the security of Internet communications protocols and developing practical quantum-resistant cryptography. He is the co-founder of the Open Quantum Safe project, an open-source software project for prototyping and evaluating quantum-resistant cryptography. He holds an MSc from the University of Oxford and a PhD from the University of Waterloo.
"RISC-V Quantum Safe Hardware Security Seminar: Speeding up and Protecting Hash-Based Signatures"
Abstract: I will discuss efficient and secure implementation techniques for the FIPS 205 SLH-DSA Hash-Based Signature Standard. SLotH is a new design intended for open-source Root-of-Trust (RoT) units and supports all 12 parameter sets of SLH-DSA. The configurable architecture has accelerators for Keccak/SHAKE, SHA2-256, and SHA2-512, and can protect its secret key material with side-channel secure PRF and Winternitz chains. We demonstrate that very significant performance gains can be obtained from hardware features that facilitate SLH-DSA hash padding formats and iterative hashing. These features make SLotH several times faster than SLH-DSA with similarly-sized traditional, general-purpose hash accelerators. A small RISC-V control core executes the drivers, as is typical in RoT systems such as OpenTitan or Caliptra.
The work has been accepted for publication at CRYPTO 2024 ( Preliminary preprint: https://ia.cr/2024/367 ). Full software and hardware source code is available.
Speaker: Dr. Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen is a Professor of Practice (työelämäprofessori) at Tampere University (Finland) and a Staff Cryptography Architect with PQShield in Oxford (UK). He started his career as a cryptographer at SSH Communications Security in 1997, working on the now-ubiquitous SSH2 protocol. Markku has stayed with cryptography and technical information security since then, dividing time between academia and the security industry. In 2018, he was the first employee of PQShield, a University of Oxford spin-out focusing on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). At PQShield, he has architected some of the first commercially successful high-assurance PQC hardware modules. Among other roles, he Chairs the PQC Task Group at RISC-V International and is currently serving as the Program Co-Chair of the PQCrypto 2024 conference and the Artifact Chair of IACR CHES 2024. Markku holds a Ph.D. in Information Security from Royal Holloway, University of London (2009).
