It’s finally time for the International Cryptographic Module Conference this year! ICMC 2024 will perhaps be the most energized ICMC to date, as post-quantum cryptography (PQC) – a topic that’s been weighing on most of our minds – features prominently on the agenda. There will also be exciting panels on the NCCoE’s Automation of Module Validation Project (AMVP), the upcoming updates to ISO/IEC 19790, and a whole lot more.
If you haven’t decided which sessions you’re attending, head over to ICMC’s agenda page to start putting your schedule together.
And, as is tradition, we’ve prepared a light-hearted animation to kick off the event, and it’s got the three essential Ps: Penguins, Pirates, and PQC. (We think they’re essential, at least!) If you haven’t had a chance to see it, you can give it a watch below:
While atsec won’t have any presentations covering penguins or pirates, we will have multiple sessions on other interesting topics, be speaking on several panels, and have a booth at the event with some goodies we think will give you a laugh.
We hope to see you at some of our sessions and at our booth!
