overview

État des développements des ordinateurs quantiques et de la cryptographie post-quantique

Lors de ce séminaire, nos intervenants partagerons des informations de première main sur l'état du développement des ordinateurs quantiques et l'état de la recherche sur les algorithmes cryptographiques post-quantiques.

Les éditeurs ont réalisé des progrès importants dans la mise en œuvre de technologies résistant aux avancées des ordinateurs quantiques afin de protéger les systèmes d'aujourd'hui contre les menaces de demain. Keyfactor fournira un update sur l'état actuel de ces développements et sur l'état de préparation des implémentations.

Aujourd'hui, la protection des actifs numériques contre les menaces post-quantiques est possible dans beaucoup de cas d'usage. Il est temps de commencer car il reste encore beaucoup à faire. Rares sont ceux qui ont commencé. Les priorités doivent être définies et les ressources allouées.

Quantum Computer Development Update

Les ordinateurs quantiques seront bientôt disponibles, c'est incontestable. La cryptographie à clé publique d'aujourd'hui ne fonctionnera plus et devra être remplacée par la cryptographie post-quantique.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)

Les normes PQC ont été définies et peuvent être mises en œuvre. D'autres algorithmes de CQP sont en cours de développement et font l'objet de tests approfondis.

Technology Update

Les fournisseurs de technologie prennent des mesures proactives pour intégrer des capacités résistantes au quantum, permettant aux organisations d'établir une confiance numérique à long terme.

Implementation

La technologie est disponible et il est désormais essentiel de planifier et de promouvoir activement sa mise en œuvre pour garantir la confiance et la résilience numériques à long terme.

Speakers

Experts Will Provide First-Hand Insights  

Top expertise on post-quantum cryptography research and implementation in actionable technology

Silvio Dragone is a Senior Technical Staff Member at IBM Research Europe, located in Rüschlikon. With over two decades of experience at IBM, he has contributed significantly to cryptographic research
Silvio Dragone
Senior Technical Staff Member at IBM Research

Silvio Dragone will provide first-hand information and update on the state of its quantum computers development and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. When can we expect quantum computers to break asymmetric cryptography methods used today, such as RSA, EC, ECDSA and other traditional algorithms.

Tomas Gustavsson is PKI developer and IT Security expert since 1994 and a founder of the EJBCA Open-SourcePKI project, a certification authority software now widely deployed inproduction globally.
Tomas Gustavsson
Chief PKI Officer at Keyfactor

Tomas Gustavsson will provide practical insights on NIST’s, and other's deadlines, how to implement quantum-resistant algorithms into your IAM fabric's PKI and signing solutions. Learn real-world steps to ensure compliance with emerging standards and safeguard your organization from future quantum threats.

Nico Heise is a Security Architect with more than 10 years of project experience across a broad set of IT security domains. He specialises in Data and Application Security where he ensures security across the organisation from development to operations
Nico Heise
Security Solutions Architect at IBM Consulting

Nico Heise will explain, why the quantum risk is real, and why organizations must act now to protect their most valuable data. Quantum-enabled risks like "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" are no longer a distant possibility - they require immediate action.

Anton Hodell (ID Security Consulting) will discuss a real world threat that can be addressed immediately with proper expertise.
Anton Hodell
PKI Specialist at ID Security

Anton Hodell will discuss real world threats that can be addressed immediately with proper expertise. What can be done immediately to prepare for the post-quantum era and mitigate future risk? What are first non-regret actions that will be beneficial in the long run to any organisation?
