The ETSI/IQC workshop, hosted by SK Telecom in Seoul, emphasized the urgent need to develop quantum-safe cryptography standards in response to advancing quantum computing capabilities. The workshop brought together industry and government representatives to discuss the latest research and requirements for quantum-safe solutions.
Key points from the workshop:
– Quantum computing advancements make quantum-safe cryptography essential
– Quantum-safe cryptography includes post-quantum cryptography and quantum cryptography
– ETSI’s Quantum Key Distribution Industry Specification Group is working on secure quantum key distribution
– Manufacturers and developers are encouraged to contribute to standards development
– ETSI is actively preparing for the quantum era with relevant standards groups
The workshop confirmed that the transition to quantum-resistant algorithms is necessary to ensure cybersecurity in the face of future quantum computing threats. ETSI’s ongoing work in this area aims to provide global standards for secure quantum technologies.
