Today, the security of the world’s digital infrastructure relies on traditional public-key based cryptographic algorithms such as RSA, and Diffie-Hellman and its elliptic curve variants. However, there’s a looming threat on the horizon predicted to eventually break these algorithms: Quantum Computers.

In this session, we’ll show how the Java Platform is preparing for this paradigm shift in security by adding support for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), which are algorithms designed to be secure against quantum computer attacks. Come to this session to learn about the PQC-related features we’ve already delivered and what we’re working on for JDK 27 and beyond.
