ETSI and the Institute for Quantum Computing are pleased to announce the 10th edition of their joint event, the ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference.
This year, the event will be hosted physically by the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore. on 14-16 May 2024 in Singapore. 

We increasingly rely on cyber technologies, and hence are ever more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. As progress toward a cryptographically relevant quantum computer advances, these attack vectors grow and the imperative to prepare for a transition to quantum secure technologies continues to increase. 
In response, standardization efforts are accelerating; the initial NIST PQC standards are due in 2024, and our working groups here at ETSI are active in evaluating these and how they will fit into existing protocols, applications and public-key infrastructures. Solutions are therefore starting to become commercially available, best practices are being developed and shared, and the ability to transition in a secure and cost-effective way continues to increase. This is a continually evolving and complex journey and much remains to be understood and navigated. 

Designed for members of the business, government, and research communities with a stake in cryptographic standardization, this forward-looking conference will facilitate the knowledge exchange and collaboration required to transition cyber infrastructures and business practices to make them safe in an era with quantum computers. It aims to showcase both the most recent developments from industry and government and cutting-edge potential solutions coming out of the most recent research. 

The Conference is split into two very different parts:  

14 May: Executive Track
designed for business executives, including CEOs, CTOs and CISOs. The executive track will outline the state of the quantum threat and quantum risk management via various Keynote speeches and high-level discussions on government actions and approaches, on the shift to quantum-safe cryptography in the financial sector and on the transition to a quantum secure cryptographic infrastructure viewed from various angles.

Participate in the pre-event survey and share your view now to input the discussions in the Executive Track!

15 - 16 May 2024: Technical Track
will dive into the greater details and specifics of how new cryptographic technologies are being developed to ensure security in a post-quantum era. We will look at the efforts taking place worldwide, such as the security of existing solutions, standards initiatives and practical deployments taking place today. 

The coffee breaks will also feature poster sessions of even more cutting-edge research projects. 

Attendance is open to all and free of charge upon registration The event having reached maximum hosting capacity, registration is closed. 

This conference is a perfect opportunity to determine your next steps, learn from experts and network with others going through the process. Nowhere else can you encounter the latest research in such an actionable way, with specific tracks for both executives and technical experts.

Come along to learn more about this rapidly evolving field and meet the key players behind these important maturing technologies.

ETSI is pleased to support the TelecomTV Support Systems Summit, taking place on 23-24 April.

Building on the foundational work of the Telcos and Public Cloud Summit, this event, now in its third year, has matured to focus on the use of public cloud technologies for the next generation of operation and business support systems (OSS and BSS).

The convergence of OSS, BSS and technology stacks is an increasingly important enabler as CSPs continue their evolution to being DSPs. This summit explores how a unified layer supporting both operations and business processes can help eliminate traditional technology silos. By using public cloud capabilities, DSPs can benefit from scalability and performance boosts, while enhancing data security and extensibility.

Lingli Deng, ETSI ISG NFV, WG SOL Vice-Chair will join the panelists in the panel discussion: Deploying Next-gen OSS and BSS on Public Cloud, on Day two: Wednesday 24 April 2024 (16:00 CEST, Paris time). The panel will address:

ETSI is pleased to endorse 6GSymposium Spring 2024, taking place on 9-11 April 2024.

This is a vital time in the development of telecoms. There are drastically different visions for what 6G needs to do and to be, and interests pulling stakeholders in many different directions. 

How do we avoid the mistakes of the past? Only by a deliberate evolution of mindsets, business relations, strategies and industry processes alongside technology and policy evolution. Perhaps then we can build commercially successful future services which deliver the societal impact governments need.

At 6GSymposium, join ETSI alongside experts from around the world debating the most important issues and controversies facing telecoms’ development. Have your say, learn and network with key stakeholders from across telecoms and beyond.

Hear David Boswarthick, Director New Technologies, ETSI on Wednesday 10 April, 09:00-10:30, in the session "How Can Standards Processes Deliver the Best Outcomes for 6G?":

The ETSI Conference on “Non-Terrestrial Networks, a Native Component of 6G” took place face-to-face on 3-4 April 2024 in ETSI, Sophia Antipolis, France.

The conference was co-organized with the ESA, 6G-IA and the SNS-JU.

From NTN research to global standards, plotting the trajectory to a fully connected planet.

Non-Terrestrial Networks have been part of 5G since 3GPP Rel-17 and the use of NTN related technologies enables global coverage for a wide range of applications that require both high availability and high resilience.

6G will consider a native integration of NTN in the 6G system, thus allowing the optimization of service delivery leveraging both terrestrial networks and non-terrestrial networks in 6G from the outset. In addition 6G NTN is expected to provide increased performances and service capabilities compared to NTN in 5G.

About the Conference

This face-to-face event offered attendees the unique opportunity to come together and exchange with experts, network with peers, and visit the dedicated project posters all focussing on the topic of Non-Terrestrial Networks for beyond 5G.

The event fostered discussions on the following topics:
• Targeted use cases that will be enabled by NTN in 6G
• Possible 6G architecture frameworks (including interfaces) enabling the native integration of the NTN components
• Candidate technologies/features for NTN in 6G
• Standardization approach (e.g. what, where, when) for NTN in 6G

Additionally, the event gave the opportunity for research organizations (academia and industrial research) to discuss new trends and features in the field of NTN solutions in the perspective of standardization.

Posters from the latest projects in the field NTN / satellite / 6G technologies complemented the conference programme.

Participation to the event was open to all and free of charge upon registration.

Note that the event was prepared with the support of the Horizon Europe 6G-NTN collaborative project and the ESA HELENA project.
