In the field of cybersecurity, quantum technology offers a number of challenges and opportunities that need to be addressed
Quantum computing will have an impact on classic cryptography, causing a paradigm shift that will force us to move to new postquantum cryptosystems.
The challenges and opportunities of cybersecurity and quantum communication will be discussed in this conference.
Aimed at
Anyone who, from a business and technological point of view, is interested in knowing more about the basics and possibilities of quantum computing, and current cybersecurity trends in this area.
