Crypto-agility and hybrid key exchange in production – Free Webinar
A free one-hour webinar from Quantum Academy and Applied Quantum on running hybrid key exchange in production, and designing systems that can change algorithms again.
Hybrid key exchange runs a post-quantum algorithm alongside a classical one, so the session key stays secret unless both are broken. Chrome negotiates the X25519MLKEM768 hybrid by default, and Cloudflare terminates it at the edge.
National positions differ: Germany and France recommend hybrid deployments, and Australia does not. We explain how hybrid key exchange works in TLS and VPNs, then the design patterns that let a system change algorithms without a rebuild.
For security architects, cryptography and PKI engineers, and the platform and application teams planning post-quantum changes.
What we cover
- How hybrid key exchange works in TLS 1.3 and in VPNs
- Why national guidance on hybrid deployment differs, and how to plan for more than one position
- Design patterns that let a system change algorithms without a rebuild
- What to test before you turn hybrid key exchange on in production
The format
60 minutes, live online from 20:00 to 21:00 UTC: about 45 minutes of teaching, then 15 minutes for your questions. Registration is free, and everyone who registers receives the recording.
The full course is Cryptographic Agility: Design and Implementation, and engineers can go further in Hybrid Cryptographic Implementations. Dates and booking are on each course page.
This webinar is educational and informational, and is not legal, compliance, or engineering advice.
