Quantum Computing Horizons

Quantum computing has found its way into Deutsche Bahn's technology roadmap. In the session I’ll give an introduction where is it used, which use cases are being developed, which skills does the industry need? The key question is which risks do we expect and how can we prepare our organization against attacks, some keywords are NIST, PQC, crypto agility. I will give an overview of the international quantum landscape and its progress. You will get hands on advice how to establish a maturity model for quantum readiness and an enterprise program to become quantum ready.

In this session, I will give an overview of a number of emerging security and privacy technologies, such as advanced cryptography (e.g., lightweight cryptography, post-quantum cryptography, etc.), privacy-enhancing technologies (e.g., confidential computing, zero-knowledge proof, etc.), and blockchain, and discuss why and how organizations should consider building their cybersecurity strategies with these emerging technologies.
