Hands-on With PQC: Build, Secure, Automate

8:30-13:00, 15 October 2025 at The Winery Hotel

Join us for fast-paced, hands-on demonstration workshops to explore the latest in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), containerized PKI, and automated deployment. Learn how to issue and test hybrid certificates, integrate HSMs, and build a scalable, compliant PKI using EJBCA and Helm, guided by the team shaping the future of cryptographic trust.  

Build

Build

Learn how to deploy a modern, containerized PQC and Hybrid PKI using Helm and EJBCA. Get hands-on demos with issuing and validating hybrid certificates in real-world scenarios like TLS 1.3 and CMS. Understand how to assess your current stack for PQC readiness. 

Secure

Secure

Discover how the ecosystem is evolving with PQC-ready HSM integrations, how CRA, IoT, and PKI work together to build trust, and how Keyfactor ensures compliance and interoperability across tools, vendors, and ecosystems. 

Automate

Automate

Master how to streamline your deployment and scale with confidence. Use ConfigDump, Helm, and the EJBCA REST client to automate configuration, validation, and rollout across hybrid, high-availability environments.
