Based on the success of last year’s edition, ID Quantique is thrilled to announce its second Migration to Quantum-Safe workshop, which will take place in Vienna on 21 & 22 November 2024.
Event details
Date: November 21-22, 2024
Place: Steigenberger Hotel Herrenhof, Herrengasse 10, 1010 Vienna, Austria.
Registration fee (including 2 lunches and 1 dinner): 1500 euros
Key topics will include reviewing quantum-safe technology, exploring state-of-the-art quantum-safe building blocks like QKD, QRNG, and PQC, and learning how to combine these to deliver end-to-end quantum-safe keys while understanding its strategic value for businesses and organizations. You’ll discover use cases for quantum-safe key distribution across different OSI layers and applications.; gain insights into the status of QKD network deployments in Europe and Asia, and discuss opportunities and challenges with key project leaders.
Attendees will gain insights by engaging with European and global experts in QKD networks through plenary talks, discussions, workshops, and live demonstrations.
A lineup of highly regarded industry experts will join IDQ’s teams: Hitachi, Sandbox AQ, IBM, Adva Security Networks, Juniper Networks, Verbund, AIT, Deutsche Telekom, Singtel, Ernst & Young, Dacoso, PSNC, Cancom, GRNET, and Cetin.
There will be ample opportunities for learning and collaboration as participants learn about QKD solutions and global initiatives, with updates from industry frontrunners. The interactive sessions will also help you effectively plan your migration to quantum-safe technologies and initiate collaborations at the business level.
The format will feature:
- Plenary presentations from globally recognized experts
- Open discussions
- Interactive workshop elements
- A live demo of a QKD network including resilient key relaying and load balancing, hybridisation with PQC, last-mile coverage beyond QKD, and third-party QKD integration. The demo will also feature an exclusive preview of our innovative Solteris quantum key management solution, offering enhanced flexibility, performance and functionality
- Extended coffee breaks for networking
