'''Overview'''

This workshop will bring together the diverse communities that will need to co-operate to standardize and deploy the next-generation cryptographic infrastructure, in particular, one that will be secure against emerging quantum computing technologies.

'''Goals'''

The aim of this workshop will be to set out some short and medium term objectives towards the long-term goal of a quantum-safe cryptographic infrastructure. Such goals could include, for example, a standard for combining a battle-tested conventional key-establishment algorithm with a quantum-safe key establishment protocol, other study items or pre-standards, etc.

In order to achieve these goals, all stakeholders are encouraged to start new standardization work within ETSI (either new groups and/or expand the role of some existing groups).

'''Call for Presentations'''

ETSI is now calling for presentations on the following topics:

1. Deployment and integration of practical QKD networks
2. Testing, metrics and certification for quantum cryptography devices
3. Standards for quantum cryptography devices and systems
4. Deployment and integration of quantum-resistant crypto algorithms
5. Testing, metrics and certification for quantum-resistant crypto algorithms
6. Standards for quantum-resistant public-key crypto algorithms
7. Practical methods for achieving quick failover from one set of crypto algorithms to another
8. High priority use cases for quantum-safe cryptography

If you are interested in submitting a presentation on one of these topics then please send your abstract by 31st May 2013 to events@etsi.org using the presentation submission template available on the website (or download the attached) and making reference to one or more of the above listed topics.

The selection of presentations will be made by the program committee after this deadline and speakers should be confirmed by the end of June.
