As adversarial nations make significant strides in quantum capabilities, the traditional encryption landscape faces an existential threat. This session will explore the profound implications of quantum breakthroughs on national security, including the potential compromise of classified intelligence, defense communications, and global financial transactions. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is the new frontier in cryptographic security, specifically engineered to withstand quantum and classical threats. PQC is crucial for law enforcement agencies as it provides a way to secure sensitive data against future attacks from powerful quantum computers. Given the urgency and complexity of transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptography, agencies must begin preparations now. Experts will discuss the critical challenges of interoperability and implementation, focusing on how PQC can seamlessly integrate with existing communication protocols and IT infrastructure. Join us to learn how to safeguard your systems in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
