The advent of quantum computing is reshaping how we approach both (quantum) network innovation and security. In this presentation, we will explore the intricate journey toward building the quantum internet, dissecting its foundational steps and critical components while providing an honest assessment of where the industry currently stands.
Beyond constructing the quantum internet, we will examine the looming threat quantum computers pose to today’s network security, delving into both quantum (Quantum Key Distribution) and non-quantum (Post-Quantum Cryptography and Symmetric Key Establishment) solutions designed to mitigate these risks. The session will provide actionable guidance on the appropriate use cases for each solution, helping network operators make informed decisions on deployment strategies.
