Second PQC Standardization Conference

The NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process has entered the next phase, in which 26 second-round candidates are being considered for standardization. NIST plans to hold a second NIST PQC Standardization Conference in August 2019 to discuss various aspects of these candidates, and to obtain valuable feedback for the selection of the finalists. NIST will invite each submission team of the 26 second-round candidates to give a short update on their algorithm. 

The conference was held at the University of California, Santa Barbara and co-located with Crypto 2019.
