Post-Quantum Certified Validator (PQCV) Training – Live Online (Americas), June 2027
Verify PQC implementations rigorously. Covers test strategy design, hybrid implementation verification, interoperability testing, conformance testing, and audit evidence production. Prerequisite: PQCS certification.
Security testers, penetration testers, QA engineers, compliance auditors, security consultants, and technical assessors who will be responsible for verifying PQC implementations. This course is also appropriate for security architects and engineers who need to define validation criteria and acceptance tests for PQC migration programs.
What you will cover
- Design test strategies for PQC implementations covering functional correctness, security properties, performance, and interoperability
- Test hybrid key exchange and hybrid signature implementations for correct behavior under normal and adversarial conditions
- Conduct downgrade attack testing to verify that fallback to classical-only algorithms is prevented where policy requires it
- Validate PQC certificate chains across multiple client implementations and platforms
- Perform interoperability testing between PQC implementations from different vendors and libraries
- Benchmark PQC implementation performance against defined thresholds and service-level requirements
