PQC Course

Post-Quantum Cryptography course materials (slides + lecture notes). Work in progress.

Post-Quantum Cryptography — Course Materials (work in progress)

Open course materials for teaching Post-Quantum Cryptography, originally developed for the Master of Quantum Science and Technology at Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro.

Current status

  • Lecture notes (159 pages) — complete and compiling
  • Beamer slides (69 frames) — partially compiling, backup slides need fixing

Topics covered

  1. Classical cryptography foundations
  2. The quantum threat (Shor’s algorithm, Grover’s algorithm)
  3. Lattice-based cryptography (LWE, Ring-LWE, Module-LWE)
  4. NIST PQC standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA)
  5. Migration strategies and hybrid approaches
