Preparation and learning goals

Entry requirements

General IT or security literacy. No quantum physics background is required.

What you will work towards

Identify quantum-vulnerable public-key dependencies and distinguish PQC, QKD and conventional symmetric cryptography.

The practical task asks you to apply the concepts, justify your choices and communicate the assumptions and limits of your result.

Course outline

MODULE 01

Threat and dependency models

MODULE 02

cryptographic primitives

MODULE 03

distinct roles of PQC and QKD

The outline defines this course’s intended scope. The detailed teaching sequence and preparation materials will be confirmed for the agreed delivery.

Practical work

A scoped cryptographic dependency map and a risk explanation suitable for a technical or governance audience.

Technical work is based on simulation, calculation or protocol analysis. Hardware access and laboratory sessions require a separately confirmed arrangement.

Assessment and feedback

The proposed review criteria are conceptual accuracy, a defensible method, clear evidence and appropriate treatment of assumptions and uncertainty.

Assessment format and feedback arrangements will be agreed before booking. No accreditation or external certification is claimed.
