This repository is a personal knowledge hub dedicated to my tech watch on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and classical cryptography. Notes and resources are structured using Obsidian and NotebookLM, with active monitoring via Google Alerts. It covers the transition from classical to quantum-resistant algorithms, following NIST PQC standardization efforts.
⚠️ Work in progress – This repository is actively evolving. New notes, resources, and topics are added on a regular basis as my tech watch progresses.
- Monitor the latest developments in Post-Quantum Cryptography
- Understand the threats posed by quantum computing on current cryptographic systems
- Study NIST PQC standards and finalist algorithms
- Build a structured and evolving knowledge base using Obsidian
- Deepen understanding of classical cryptography foundations
- Obsidian – local knowledge base and note-taking (Markdown vault)
- NotebookLM – AI-assisted document analysis and synthesis
- Google Alerts – real-time monitoring of PQC-related news and publications
