Certified Quantum Cryptography and Post-Quantum Cryptology Professional (CQPQC-P)

Certified Quantum Cryptography and Post-Quantum Cryptology Professional (CQPQC-P) Certification Program by Tonex

• Credential Abbreviation: CQPQC-P
• Duration: 2 Days Training + 1 Certification Exam
• Issued by: [i2qc.org and Tonex.com]

The Certified Quantum Cryptography and Post-Quantum Cryptology Professional (CQPQC-P) certification equips cybersecurity, cryptography, and IT professionals with cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills in quantum-safe cryptographic solutions. This program bridges the gap between emerging quantum threats and current cryptographic infrastructure, ensuring professionals are ready to implement and transition to secure cryptographic systems for the quantum age.

Participants will learn about quantum cryptographic protocols (e.g., QKD), quantum vulnerabilities in classical cryptography, and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that can resist attacks from quantum computers.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the program, participants will be able to:

• Understand how quantum computing disrupts classical cryptography.
• Analyze threats posed by Shor’s and Grover’s algorithms to current cryptographic systems.
• Design secure systems using quantum key distribution (QKD).
• Compare and implement post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, including lattice-based, code-based, and multivariate systems.
• Develop transition strategies for enterprises moving to quantum-resistant security.
• Evaluate compliance and regulatory requirements related to quantum security.

 Target Audience

• Cybersecurity professionals
• Cryptographers and security architects
• IT infrastructure and network engineers
• Risk managers and compliance officers
• Government and defense technologists
• Researchers in cryptology and quantum computing
• Technical leads responsible for cryptographic systems

Why CQPQC-P Certification?

Quantum computing is no longer theoretical—it’s advancing rapidly, threatening to render current cryptographic standards obsolete. RSA, ECC, and DH—cornerstones of today’s digital security—will be vulnerable to attacks by quantum computers. This creates a critical need for professionals who:

• Understand quantum threats to cybersecurity
• Can implement quantum-safe cryptographic systems
• Lead organizations through the post-quantum transition

The CQPQC-P certification positions you at the forefront of this transformation, equipping you to design, deploy, and manage resilient cryptographic infrastructures that can withstand both current and quantum-era threats.

Future Outlook: Why Quantum Cryptography Skills Matter

Quantum Disruption is Inevitable

Governments and corporations are investing billions in quantum research. NIST is already finalizing PQC standards. Organizations that don’t adapt may face massive security exposure.

Compliance Pressure Will Grow

Security and compliance mandates will soon require proof of quantum readiness, particularly in finance, defense, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.

Job Roles Will Evolve

New roles such as Quantum Security Architect, Quantum Risk Analyst, and

Cryptographic Migration Specialist are emerging. CQPQC-P prepares you for these future roles.

Global Standardization is Underway

The CQPQC-P aligns with international efforts in quantum security—NIST (USA), ETSI (EU), ISO/IEC standards, and NSA CNSA 2.0 policy updates.

The CQPQC-P Certification is not just about learning — it’s about leading the future of cybersecurity. As quantum computers move from labs to deployment, certified professionals will be essential to protect digital systems, national infrastructure, and enterprise data.
