PQC Forum focuses on the impact of quantum computing on existing encryption technologies, exploring migration trends in post-quantum cryptography, mobile identity protection, and the critical development of quantum-secure networks.
The advent of quantum computing poses significant challenges to classical cryptographic systems, necessitating a global transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This talk will explore the current landscape and critical milestones of this transition. A key focus will be the efforts of the NIST PQC team, which has standardized CRYSTALS-Kyber and HQC as key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) standards, alongside CRYSTALS-Dilithium, Falcon, and SPHINCS+ as digital signature standards. Further insights will be drawn from the publication of NIST's Internal Report 8547, "Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards."
Additionally, the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at NIST is spearheading the "Migration to PQC" project, detailed in Special Publication 1800-38, which provides comprehensive guidelines to facilitate this transition. The talk will also delve into the critical importance of countermeasures against side-channel attacks as part of PQC migration. Addressing these vulnerabilities is imperative for achieving certification under higher levels of FIPS 140-3 and meeting Common Criteria standards.
This presentation will explore the potential threats posed by quantum computer technology to the security of mobile communication identities and emphasize the importance of establishing quantum-secure networks. We will begin by introducing the current status of quantum-secure networks in the 6G international standards and analyzing technologies for quantum-resistant mobile communication networks. Next, we will demonstrate how generative AI assists in research related to IBM quantum computers and quantum-secure networks, sharing the latest research findings and practical experiences. Additionally, the audience will learn about practicing quantum computing on the Google Colab and/or GitHub Codespace platforms and how to use IBM quantum computers for computation. Finally, we will arrange a live demonstration to show how to use Qiskit on Google Colab and/or GitHub Codespace for quantum circuit design and simulation. The audience will gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest developments in quantum computing and network security and acquire practical operational experience to prepare for future technological challenges.
