Why attend the Technical Track?

The Technical Track on 6-7 November is designed for members of the business, government and research communities with a stake in cryptographic standardization on a global scale. This is a unique opportunity to engage with key members of the quantum-safe cryptography community, participate in practical and scientific discussions and move towards a standardized approach to quantum-safe cryptographic solutions.

The workshop will showcase both the most recent requirements from industry and government, and cutting-edge potential solutions coming out of the most recent research.

A range of research and commercial presentations will focus on state-of-the-art quantum key distribution and the new encryption algorithms that will protect the world's communications. Some of the next-generation standards development work currently in progress at ETSI and other international standards organizations will be reviewed.

Our goal is to identify and give focus to further research and development on quantum-safe cryptography and its application.

Additionally, poster sessions will be shown during the technical track's networking breaks.
