Ini Kong is a PhD Researcher in the Department of Engineering Systems and Services at Delft University of Technology. Under the supervision of Prof.dr.ir. Marijn Janssen and Prof.dr.ir Nitesh Bharosa, her PhD research focuses on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems that facilitate digital communication and information exchange. The aim of the research is to guide organizations transitioning toward Quantum-safe (QS) PKI systems and extend knowledge on the development of a stages-of-growth model for QS transition.

Her PhD research is part of a larger project called HAPKIDO (Hybrid Approach for quantum-safe Public Key Infrastructure Development for Organizations) funded by NWO (Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research). The project delivers sector-based plans for developing QS PKIs, including hybrid PKIs that demonstrate how QS solutions will work with existing infrastructures, and governance models that guide organizations toward a QS future.
