TSVP Talk: "Standardization Effort of Post-Quantum Cryptography" by Péter Kutas

Title: Standardization Effort of Post-Quantum Cryptography

Speaker: Péter Kutas (Eötvös Loránd University)

Abstract: Large-scale fault tolerant quantum computers have the capability of breaking currently deployed cryptographic systems. While such quantum computers do not exist today due to breakthroughs in quantum technology one needs to migrate our systems in the near future to quantum-resistant ones. NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) decided to launch efforts to standardize post-quantum key encapsulation and digital signature schemes. The talk will cover these standardization processes, explaining several branches of post-quantum cryptography and its promising candidates. 

Profile: Péter Kutas received his PhD in Pure Mathematics in 2017 from Central European University, Budapest. He has been a research fellow at the University of Birmingham from 2019 until 2026. He is currently an associate professor at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. His main research area is isogeny-based cryptography and computational number theory. 
 

This talk is part of the Thematic Program "Isogeny-Based Cryptography", which runs from January 13 to February 28, 2026. The accompanying school on "Introduction to Isogeny-based Cryptography" will be held from February 9-13, 2026.

Language: English

Target audience: General audience/everyone at OIST and beyond.
