Post-quantum cryptography is no longer just a futuristic concept, but a necessity in the present day. Anyone who works in the field and ignores its principles and techniques could be left at a severe disadvantage. This course offers a comprehensive overview of post-quantum cryptography.

Day 1 explores quantum-based attacks, lattices, and their applications in schemes and key exchange. Day 2 delves into error-correcting codes, isogenies, and their security implications. Day 3 covers the MQ problem, various schemes, including oil and vinegar, rainbow, and their cryptanalysis.

Other candidates, such as hash-based signatures and MPC-in-the-head signatures, and side-channel attacks, are also discussed. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of post-quantum cryptography and its potential impact on modern cryptography.

Post Quantum Cryptography Training Course in Malta

Officially known as the Republic of Malta, is an island country in the Mediterranean Sea, South of Sicily. While Malta being the world's tenth smallest country in area and fourth most densely populated sovereign country, the capital city of the island country is Valletta. Malta consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo, and Comino and Malta is the largest island among all. The official languages of Malta are Maltese and English and based on the data from 2019, the population is about 514,564.

Winter season in Malta is delightfully mild, with temperatures above 12 degrees, so it makes the Maltese Islands a perfect year-round destination. But tourists usually prefer traveling to Malta either in April, May or June. Since in those months, Malta is warm without being too hot. In the early Spring season, travelers may also enjoy the glorious wildflower season.
