Format
Description: The convergence of quantum computing advancements and artificial intelligence presents both unprecedented challenges and opportunities for global cybersecurity frameworks. This session will examine how AI technologies are transforming our approach to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), addressing the urgent need for quantum-resistant security solutions before large-scale quantum computers render current encryption methods vulnerable.
This panel will feature leading quantum computing specialists, cryptographers, AI researchers, and cybersecurity policymakers, providing multidisciplinary insights on:
• AI-accelerated development of quantum-resistant algorithms and their implementation challenges
• Machine learning applications in cryptographic vulnerability assessment and remediation
• Quantum threat modeling enhanced by predictive AI capabilities
• International standardization efforts for post-quantum cryptographic solutions
This session aims to bridge theoretical cryptography with practical security implementation, fostering dialogue on how AI can facilitate the complex transition to quantum-safe infrastructure globally.
Learning Outcomes: Attendees will:
• Gain comprehensive understanding of quantum threats to existing cryptographic systems
• Learn about AI's role in accelerating PQC research, testing, and deployment
• Understand the governance challenges of managing cryptographic transitions across borders
• Explore practical migration strategies for organizations preparing for quantum-resistant security
Key Policy Questions:
1. What regulatory frameworks are needed to ensure timely adoption of post-quantum cryptography across critical infrastructure?
2. How can AI help prioritize cryptographic migration efforts based on quantum threat timelines?
3. What international cooperation mechanisms can ensure equitable access to post-quantum security technologies?
Expected Outcomes:
• Technical Framework Document – A comprehensive guide detailing AI-assisted approaches to post-quantum cryptographic implementation
• Risk Assessment Methodology – A structured approach for organizations to evaluate their quantum vulnerability using AI tools
• Policy Recommendation Brief – Strategic guidance for policymakers on facilitating the global transition to quantum-resistant cryptography
• International Collaboration Roadmap – A blueprint for coordinated research and implementation efforts across national boundaries
