Keynote
Die Quanten-Transformation
- Wie QKD und PQC Datacenter gegen zukünftige Bedrohungen durch Quantencomputer absichern können
- Warum es jetzt an der Zeit ist, die Post-Quantum-Kryptografie (PQC) in Betracht zu ziehen und umzusetzen
- Wie Lösungen zur Quanten-Schlüsselverteilung (QKD) die physische Netzwerk-Infrastruktur revolutionieren können
Summary
Emerging Threats: Quantum computers have the potential to break widely used cryptographic algorithms, such as RSA and ECC, which are foundational to current security protocols. Preparing for these threats now can prevent future vulnerabilities as quantum computing technology advances.
Regulatory Compliance: Financial institutions are subject to stringent regulatory requirements concerning data protection. Proactively adopting quantum-resistant security measures can ensure compliance with future regulations and standards.
Customer Trust and Reputation: Implementing cutting-edge security measures can enhance customer trust and protect the company’s reputation. Demonstrating a commitment to data security can be a competitive advantage.
Long-term Security: Transitioning to PQC ensures that sensitive data remains secure even if intercepted today and decrypted later when quantum computers become available. QKD offers a theoretically unbreakable method of secure communication, adding an additional layer of security.
Technological Leadership: Being an early adopter of quantum security solutions positions the company as a leader in technological innovation. It can open up new business opportunities and partnerships with other forward-thinking organizations.
Cost of Inaction: Delaying the transition to quantum-safe security could result in higher costs in the future, both in terms of financial loss from breaches and the cost of urgent implementation. The cost of implementing quantum security solutions now is likely lower than the potential cost of a security breach.
Research and Development: Engaging in a quantum security project can foster internal expertise and innovation, preparing the company for future technological shifts. It provides an opportunity to collaborate with academic and industry leaders in quantum technology.
Strategic Planning: Evaluating PQC and QKD solutions now allows for a strategic and phased approach to implementation, minimizing disruption to existing operations. It ensures the company is ready to transition smoothly as quantum technologies mature.
