[{"type":"text","content":"01 Communique Strengthens Technical Advisory Team with PQC Expert Dr. Edoardo PersichettiToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 12, 2025) - 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) (the \"Company\" or \"01 Communique\"), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era, announces the appointment of Dr. Edoardo Persichetti as a strategic advisor to the Company.Dr. Edoardo Persichetti is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Florida Atlantic University. Before moving to Florida, he was a Postdoc (Adiunkt Naukowy) in the Cryptography and Data Security Group at Warsaw University in Poland. He completed his PhD in Mathematics in late 2012 at University of Auckland, New Zealand.Dr. Persichetti's research interests revolve around public-key cryptography and number theory, with a particular focus on code-based cryptography. He has an established track record of publications in cryptography. He is a co-author of four distinct submissions to the first NIST Post-Quantum Standardization process. Three of the four algorithms - Classic McEliece, BIKE and HQC reached the conclusive round, with HQC being selected in March 2025 as one of the two new standards for encryption. He has also co-authored three submissions to NIST's \"onramp\" call for novel signature schemes.Dr. Persichetti is one of the most acclaimed researchers in code-based cryptography frequently invited to act as a program committee member for major cryptography conferences such as CRYPTO, EUROCRYPT and ASIACRYPT, as well as a peer-reviewer for publications like the Journal of Mathematical Cryptology and Designs, Codes and Cryptography. He was the chair of the 2018 edition of the Code-Based Cryptography Workshop (CBC 2018) and the co-chair of the 2019 and 2020 editions. He is currently serving as the General Chair for EUROCRYPT 2026 and as the Program Chair for PKC 2026. His expertise is called upon regularly to speak at events such as the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM), coding and cryptography by AMS, SIAM and DIMACS, workshops on Post-Quantum Cryptography, and many others.Dr. Persichetti commented, \"Quantum computing is progressing steadily, and its arrival is expected to pose a serious threat to current encryption standards.
