Cryptography Spotlight Day

4:40 PM TrUE vs. QKD vs. PQC – what’s the future? What should enterprises and government invest in?

  • How do Trusted Execution Environments (TrUE), Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) help mitigate the threat posed by quantum computing to current security protocols? 
  • What are the differences between TrUE, QKD, and PQC in terms of implementation complexity, cost, and integration with existing systems? What practical trade-offs do these differences present in real-world applications? 
  • What are the major challenges around achieving interoperability and standardization for these technologies? 
  • How might TrUE, QKD, and PQC evolve in the coming years, and what impact could they have on the cybersecurity landscape as quantum computing advances? Are there potential synergies or complementary roles these technologies could play in securing the digital future? 
  • WHAT’S THE BEST BET? 

Main Conference Day One
