Quantum Safe Cryptography - Building a quantum resilient future with agility

Abstract:
As quantum computers advance, they will challenge many of the security protocols on which the modern digital economy relies. Standards bodies and working groups around the world are already establishing timelines for transitioning data and systems to a quantum-safe cryptography (a.k.a Post-Quantum Cryptography - PQC).  

IBM Research and his global team has been leading the charge in quantum computing technology as well the cryptographic research to develop a quantum-safe technology. IBM researchers developed three out of four of the PQC algorithms selected by NIST for standardization, and IBM, Goole, Apple, Meta, Zoom are already integrating them into their applications and systems. 

In this session, Mr. Arun will share the details of:
    • Why we need a quantum safe cryptography
    • What is quantum safe cryptography
    • When do organizations need to migrate to quantum safe cryptography
    • Who should be concerned about this migration
    • How can organizations start on a journey to quantum safe
