The Future Is Now: Spreading the Word About Post-Quantum Cryptography

I consider myself a quiet guy — on a Friday night you can usually find me at home doing crossword puzzles. Public speaking doesn’t come naturally to me, and I’ve never really liked it. Like many people, I get really nervous. So, how did I find myself standing at a podium in front of hundreds of people in Fukuoka, Japan? I had never traveled that far away from home before. I was also pretty jet
