The 10th ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference organized by ETSI and the Institute for Quantum Computing was hosted by the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore in Singapore.
The Technical Track, 15-16 May, through a series of presentations, dived more technically into the financial sector quantum safe activities, various initiatives world-wide, migration aspects (Urgency, readiness , challenges), QKD networks etc..
The Technical Track :
- Showcased and provide an update of the most recent research, initiatives and standardization activities worldwide
- Brought together key players from industry, academia, government and standardization bodies
- Facilitated networking and relationship-building opportunities
- Encouraged discussion and critical thinking around pertinent topics
