Security in the Quantum Era

As we stand on the brink of the quantum computing revolution, traditional cryptographic systems face unprecedented risks. This session will explore the emerging quantum threat to data security, focusing on how quantum algorithms could compromise current encryption methods.

We will delve into post-quantum cryptography (PQC), examining the race to develop encryption schemes resistant to quantum attacks. Additionally, we’ll address the ongoing efforts in PQC standardization, and the complex challenges involved in transitioning from classical to quantum-resistant systems.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the future of cybersecurity in a world where quantum computing reshapes the landscape.
