Post-Quantum Cryptography and HashiCorp Vault

This talk is an introduction to quantum cryptography and cryptanalysis: the physics and mathematics behind how quantum computers provide unique opportunities and threats to traditional cryptographic systems. We will review the basics behind quantum mechanics and quantum computers, why quantum computers pose a unique threat to cryptographic systems and what secure infrastructure systems must do to protect secrets in a post-quantum world.

This talk was part of HashiTalks, an online event—A 24-hour continuous series of presentations from the worldwide HashiCorp User Group (HUG) community and from HashiCorp engineers as well.
