Zusammenfassung: Peter Shor’s algorithm shows that if one can build a quantum computer with large bit capacity, he or she can break currently most popular public-key cryptosystems: e.g., RSA, DSA, and ECDSA, which are based on hard number theory problems. Can we build large quantum computers? What will they do to the cryptographic world, in particular, public key cryptographic world? PQCrypto 2008 is the second of the new series of workshops on Post-Quantum cryptography, which is devoted to the cryptographic research in preparing us for the world of the possible future quantum computers. This series of workshop is organized due to the growing interest from academic researchers, industries and governments in this area. A very successful PQCrypto 2006, the first PQCrypto, was held in Belgium. PQCrypto 2008 will serve as a forum for researchers to present results and exchange ideas in post-quantum cryptography. The topics include (but are not restricted to) public key cryptosystems that

Zusammenfassung: The title of the conference is fairly descriptive of the subjects discussed.
