CTO and Co-Founder Qrypt

Qrypt CTO and co-founder, Denis Mandich, focuses on quantum security, R&D, post quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms and standards bodies. He holds several patents in cryptography, cyber technologies and information processing. Denis is a founding member of the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C), a founding member of the NSF-funded Mid-Atlantic Quantum Alliance (MQA), a founding member of the Center for Quantum Technologies (CQT), an advisor to the Quantum Startup Foundry, and a board member of quantum chip manufacturer Quside.

Prior to joining Qrypt, Denis served 20 years in the US intelligence community working on national security projects, cyber infrastructure, and advanced technology development. He has degrees in Physics from Rutgers University and speaks native level Croatian and Russian.

Cryptography and AI Workshop Day

11:30 AM Quantum-Secure Networks: Multi-Technology Integration to Evolve to a Resilient Architecture

Quantum-enabled networks for data centers and applications require the integration of multiple technologies to ensure robust security in the quantum era. As artificial intelligence takes on more responsibility for critical infrastructure, autonomous systems, and cybersecurity, the risks associated with compromised encrypted communications across networks increase significantly. Transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is essential for widespread use; however, vital functions cannot afford a single point of failure, such as relying on just one algorithm. The cryptographic architecture of quantum-secure systems must evolve beyond the traditional internet model to include the high resilience and redundancy already used in many cloud environments.
