What you'll learn

Cryptographically-relevant quantum computers are only a few years out, making post-quantum migration a priority. In this course, Applied Quantum Cryptography, you’ll gain the ability to make the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). First, you’ll explore how to implement and configure PQC standard algorithms. Next, you’ll discover how BB84 offers key exchange secured by quantum mechanics. Finally, you’ll learn how to develop and implement a quantum-safe migration strategy. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of post-quantum cryptography needed to select, configure, and deploy PQC algorithms.
