DevFest 2025 | The NIST PQC Standards and The Crypto-Agile Mindset ⚖️

DevFest 2025 was all about "Building Safe, Secure and Scalable Solutions with AI and Cloud," and this session gets straight to the core of digital security's future.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released the first-ever post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards, and the countdown to quantum-resistant security has begun.

In this deep-dive session from our DevFest 2025 event, we break down everything you need to know about the new PQC standards: ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA. We’ll explore their purpose, their performance trade-offs, and most importantly, their connection to AI.

In this video, you will learn about:

The finalized NIST PQC algorithms: ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA.

The dual role of AI in the quantum era—as both a potential cryptanalytic threat and a powerful tool for building secure systems.

The concept of "crypto-agility" and why it's essential for future-proofing your applications.

Speaker: Anna Muzykina - GDG Ahlen Organizer, NASA Space Apps Ahlen Lead Organizer, Flutter Developer, WTM Ambassador, WiDS Ambassador
