Today I gave one of the most challenging talks I’ve ever done: Post-Quantum Cryptography. Explaining enough of the basics of cryptography and quantum mechanics to show why this matters, all in just an hour, was much harder than I thought it would be.

I’m more used to speaking on topics that feel more intuitive and grounded. This one covered a lot of ground quickly at a high level: encryption, algorithmic complexity, Moore’s law, quantum entanglement, Shor’s algorithm, and lattice-based cryptography.
