Adopting Quantum-Safe Cryptography: Developing with the OpenSSL Stack - Paul Schweigert & Michael “Max” Maximilien, IBM (IBM TechXchange 2023)

As quantum computing advances, the security of current TLS communication algorithms is threatened. To counter this, we must begin implementing new quantum-safe algorithms for TLS communications. In this session, we guide you through the process of setting up and utilizing OpenSSL integrated with quantum-safe algorithms. As the primary TLS implementation, the adoption of a quantum-safe OpenSSL is a crucial stride towards confronting quantum security. We will help you set up a local development environment with quantum-safe OpenSSL and highlight the enabling libraries, followed by practical examples of its usage in cURL and HAProxy.
