The Quantum Computer is on its way, and it is here to stay! The technical development in the field of Quantum Computing is growing quickly and experts expect to see a Cryptographic Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC) within 10 to 15 years. The CRQC can weaken, and in some specific cases, break widely used algorithms, rendering our information, interfaces and systems vulnerable. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is essential to manage this risk.
In addition, even if we implement post-quantum encryption algorithms before sufficiently powerful quantum computers are built, a lot of encrypted data is already under threat at this moment because of a type of attack called “store now, decrypt later.” We also know that it takes many years to complete this type of migration. It is therefore essential that organisations start on developing and executing a PQC-migration strategy now. However, organisations are struggling to get the ball rolling. How to even start with PQC migration when implementing new legislation is consuming all our time, when talent is scarce and funding is limited? Well, look no further as we are here to help!
We are aware the interest in the topic is rising, whether it be the political attention, the publication of various practical materials such as the PQC-migration handbook of the AIVD, TNO, CWI, and the recently established EU Working Group on PQC-migration; which is why this is a timely and essential subject to cover.
So what can you expect from this session? During this interactive panel discussion, different industry experts will answer your questions and talk about their experience on PQC-migration. This session will make sure that you’ll return home with inspiration, lessons learned and practical steps so that you can get started on your PQC-migration the next day. The panel consist of:
TNO (Thomas Attema – Cryptologist)
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) (prof. dr. ir. Nitesh Bharosa – Professor GovTech & Innovation)
NCSC (Dion Koeze – Researcher)
ABN AMRO (Elif Yesilbek – Cryptography Champion & Sr. Software Engineer )
The panel will be hosted by Pieter Schneider, Program Manager Quantum Secure Cryptography NL at the Ministry of the Interior.
This session is an amazing chance to learn from the best in their field. Join us!
