Abstract Shane Gibbons - Post Quantum Cryptography: Classical Solutions to Quantum Breaks. 
Quantum computing may soon render our current standards of public key cryptography insecure. Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is the development of alternative cryptographic schemes thought to be secure against adversaries with a quantum computer. Cryptology involves continuously making and breaking newer and more efficient schemes, to hopefully be widely accepted and standardised. Three hardness assumptions that have survived intense scrutiny include lattice-, code-, and isogeny-based cryptography.
This talk will be an overview of the classical algorithms considered secure against an adversary with a quantum computer, with a closer look at the Lattice Isomorphism Problem as a potential hardness assumption.
