Public key encryption is an essential part of everything we do on the Internet, but current security measures may be broken by the computational power of future quantum computers. Today, there is active research and commercial developments in the field of quantum cryptography focused on introducing new technologies that will offer more resistance to those security threats. In this talk, we will introduce those key technologies that make use of quantum physics to provide secure data transmission. In addition, we will discuss industry events in adopting quantum cryptography, as well as the milestones set by standard bodies for development of post-quantum cryptography algorithms. While the impacts of quantum computing may be years away, we will also discuss why it is important to start preparing now and the steps a business should take in planning for a world of quantum cryptography.
This meeting is open to SWE members and Verizon employees only. SWE Collegiates, SWENext, and Non-members may join remotely through call-in number.
This meeting will be on Tuesday, October 15 from 6-8 PM at 600 Hidden Ridge, Irving, TX 75038.
