Aditya Koranga is an expert in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), Telco Security, and cloud-native technologies, currently serving as the chair of the PQCA TAC. He is a co-founder and maintainer of the NgKore Foundation.

Aditya’s expertise spans a range of open-source projects, including liboqs, OpenSSL, cuPQC, oqs-provider, Bouncy Castle, CIRCL, StrongSwan, etc. Along with PQC, his work extends into Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) & Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

Aditya leads open-source communities such as ngKore and Magma India, and drives the integration of PQCA projects into Linux Foundation Networking (LFN) and Linux Foundation Connectivity (LFC) projects, different use cases & domains such as successful integration of Open Quantum Safe + PQ Code Package with Kubernetes Operator, Telecom, O-RAN & eBPF related projects and has releasesd blogs and videos around it. Recently, he has joined the TSC of the PQCA CBOMkit project.

Aditya also focuses on PQC optimization for KEM algorithms, modifying distribution methods, noise sampling, and NTT reduction schemes. He has worked on PQC benchmarking, hardware/software crypto acceleration, and authored several technical blogs, white papers, technical reports, deployment videos and has patents in Post quantum security.

Beyond his technical expertise, Aditya is a writer, poet, and rapper (sometimes, on the weekends) who enjoys reading standards & RFCs before going to bed.

Andy Warner is a Group Product Manager at Google, where he focuses on product strategy and technical policy for Google’s Public Key Infrastructures, both internal and external, Google’s Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Transition Program. He focuses on accelerating ecosystem readiness for quantum-safe security, including the development of Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs), hybrid deployments, and open-source cryptographic standards.

Andy serves as Google’s primary contact for the PQCA and actively collaborates on cryptographic standards in the CA/Browser Forum and other industry bodies. Since joining Google in 2004, his prior roles include managing site reliability teams for Android and mobile, infrastructure management and leading initiatives on global internet access and infrastructure.

Dr. Douglas Stebila is an Associate Professor of cryptography in the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo.  His research focuses on improving the security of Internet communications protocols and developing practical quantum-resistant cryptography. He is the co-founder of the Open Quantum Safe project, an open-source software project for prototyping and evaluating quantum-resistant cryptography.  He holds an MSc from the University of Oxford and a PhD from the University of Waterloo.

Jeff Johnson is a Sr. S/W Engineering Leader at Cisco Systems, Inc. Jeff leads the Common Security Module team within Cisco’s Security and Trust Organization which provides foundational security capabilities across Cisco’s portfolio to reduce risk for Cisco and their customers. Jeff’s passion is creating, developing and producing new technologies from inception to production. During his 24+ years at Cisco Jeff has delivered across Cisco’s technology portfolio including networking, collaboration and security products. Currently, his development teams are responsible for creating and maintaining government certified common software technologies. Primary among these technologies is a common cryptography library. This work has led to his teams being recognized as a finalist in Cisco’s Pioneer Award. Jeff’s teams are now challenged to provide production quality post-quantum cryptography across Cisco’s portfolio.

In his spare time, Jeff enjoys traveling with his wife of 45 years and their 2 dogs. Additionally, Jeff cannot get enough time with his family consisting of 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren. An avid motorcyclist, you can find Jeff riding with friends thru the mountains of North Carolina or attending several motorcycle racing events throughout the year.
