Jim Zou discusses quantum security technologies at Netnod Tech Meeting 2024

Presentation will explore the readiness of QKD and PQC to secure optical networks against quantum threats

  • Speakers: Jim Zou, senior manager of global business development at Adtran
  • Topics: Is QKD or PQC ready to quantum secure optical networks?
  • When:  Tuesday, October 15, 2024, 10:30 a.m. CET
  • Where: Netnod Tech Meeting 2024, Clarion Hotel, Stockholm, Sweden https://www.netnod.se/event/netnod-tech-meeting-2024 

As quantum computing becomes increasingly viable, the need to protect networks from quantum-enabled threats is gaining urgency. Quantum key distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) are two of the leading technologies being explored to safeguard optical networks. But are these solutions ready for large-scale deployment, and which is better suited to secure the next generation of networks?

In this session, Jim Zou will dive into the technical capabilities of QKD and PQC, assessing their readiness for real-world implementation. He will offer insights into their strengths and limitations and discuss how service providers can start preparing their networks for a quantum-secure future.
