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.

Andreas Schade is a member of the Platform Crypto and Security Group at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory His current research focusses on Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOM) and Post-Quantum Security.
