Course Overview

For city data platform managers and municipal IT security teams. Covers PQC migration for FIWARE NGSI-LD context brokers, TM Forum Open APIs, citizen data portals, and open dataset integrity. Addresses NIS2 Article 21, GDPR Article 32 quantum risk, and PQC procurement clause drafting for local authority IT contracts.

Curriculum

Course content is structured into sessions below. Each session is configurable to your organisation's environment, threat model, and objectives.

# Session Topics
1 Quantum Threats to Public Data Infrastructure Why harvest-now-decrypt-later targets city open data and citizen portals
2 Cryptographic Exposure in City Data Platforms Protocol-level analysis of open data APIs and citizen services
  • FIWARE NGSI-LD context broker security: TLS for entity subscriptions, OAuth 2.0 token signing, and API gateway certificate chains as quantum-exposed components
  • TM Forum Open APIs: inter-agency data sharing agreements relying on RSA/ECDSA signatures for data provenance and integrity verification
  • Citizen data portals: GDPR-protected personal data (council tax, housing, social services) encrypted with RSA-2048 at rest and ECDH in transit
Break
3 NIS2 and GDPR Obligations for Local Authorities Regulatory requirements driving PQC migration timelines
  • NIS2 Article 21 security measures: how "state of the art" will include PQC as NIST standards enter EU procurement requirements
  • GDPR Article 32 and quantum risk: when personal data encrypted with RSA-2048 ceases to meet "appropriate technical measures" under quantum threat
  • Public procurement PQC clauses: embedding quantum readiness requirements into IT contracts for cloud, hosting, and managed service providers
4 Interactive Demonstration PQC migration assessment for a city data platform
  • Facilitator-led cryptographic inventory of a reference FIWARE-based city data platform: mapping every TLS certificate, signing key, and encryption dependency
  • Prioritisation exercise: ranking data assets by sensitivity (citizen personal data versus anonymised transport statistics) and retention period for migration sequencing
  • Drafting a PQC procurement clause: participants write quantum readiness requirements for a hypothetical city cloud hosting tender
Break
5 PQC Migration for Open Data Integrity Protecting dataset provenance and API authentication
  • ML-DSA for dataset signing: ensuring published open data retains integrity verification when RSA/ECDSA signatures become quantum-vulnerable
  • Hybrid TLS for API gateways: deploying X25519+ML-KEM on NGINX and Kong API gateways serving FIWARE NGSI-LD endpoints without breaking existing clients
  • Certificate authority migration: transitioning city PKI from RSA to ML-DSA root certificates while maintaining cross-signed backward compatibility
