Jim Zou talks quantum-safe cryptography at NetNordic Technology University 2023

Presentation will explore how quantum key distribution and post-quantum cryptography can be used to secure sensitive data in motion

  • Speakers: Jim Zou, senior manager, global business development, Adtran
  • Topics: Quantum threat mitigation in optical transport networks
  • When: Thursday, October 19, 2 p.m. CET
  • Where: NetNordic Technology University 2023, Uppsala Konsert & Kongress, Uppsala, Sweden

Optical networks are vulnerable to a form of wiretapping known as data harvesting attacks. But even when data-in-motion is successfully intercepted, today’s encryption methods are secure enough to safeguard its integrity. However, quantum computing could soon jeopardize this status quo and provide cyberattackers with the ability to crack even the most secure encryption algorithms.

In this presentation, Jim Zou will unveil some of the latest quantum-safe cryptography innovations based on mathematical algorithms. He will demonstrate how the laws of quantum mechanics can be exploited to protect data in motion and show how quantum-safe encryption technologies can be successfully integrated into existing optical networks. Register now for the in-person or virtual event beginning October 19.
