ESSEC research team hosts workshop on PQC & secure hardware design

27 August 2025

The ESSEC team is pleased to announce the ”1st Workshop on Post-Quantum Cryptography Resilience, Verification, and Secure Design Automation (WPQC'25)" – a specialist event on the connection between post-quantum cryptography and secure hardware design. The workshop will take place as part of ICCAD 2025 in Munich on October 29 and 30, 2025. It offers researchers and practitioners a platform to discuss topics such as side-channel resistance, hardware/software co-design, formal verification, and design automation for PQC hardware. The workshop is being organized in collaboration with international partners, including NTU Singapore, Microsoft, IIT Kharagpur, and others. We cordially invite all interested parties to actively participate. Details on how to submit a proposal can be found at the CFP link.
