ABSTRACT:
Current security solutions face significant challenges as technology advances and cyber threats become more sophisticated. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) promises a new paradigm of security, but is QKD technology ready to become a standard for secure communications?
Join us for an engaging workshop where we delve into the latest advancements in QKD technology, explore evolving certification processes, and identify gaps for future QKD deployment. This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with thought leaders, gain valuable insights, and network with peers at the forefront of secure communications, fostering meaningful connections and collaborations. Whether you're a cybersecurity professional, an optical communications expert, or simply someone deeply invested in the future of secure communications, this workshop will provide the knowledge and connections you need to stay ahead.
The organization of this workshop is supported by the SQuaD project and by QBN (www.qbn.world).
