Testing PQC in practice: what happens when you migrate real applications?

Manon de Vries (TNO, Senior Researcher)
Gamze Tillem (ING, Security Architect)

Within the PCSI PQC Benchmarking project we aimed to tackle one of the major pain points of the migration to quantum safe cryptography: uncertainty about the difficulty of migrating real systems. We wanted to know the impact of migration to PQC: of the migration itself (how much effort does it take) and on the system (performance decrease).
The plan was simple: every partner migrates one of their own applications. Doing it in practice? Not so simple. We learned a lot. In this talk we want to share some of those lessons with the audience.
