Shibuya Parco DG Bldg. - Room B

IKP

Session Overview

Preparing blockchain systems for the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) transition. This session examines crypto agility architectures that enable seamless algorithm migration without service disruption, covering NIST PQC standards status, design patterns for agility, and hybrid approaches during the transition period. Participants will review migration strategies for key management, digital signatures, and identity credentials.

Agenda

1. Quantum threat timeline and implications for blockchain

2. NIST PQC standards status and selection updates

3. Crypto agility design patterns for blockchain systems

4. Migration strategies for existing key management and signature systems

5. Hybrid approaches during the transition period

6. Agent Hack connection: key generation algorithm considerations

7. Coordination with METI blockchain technology competition
