Rimesh Patel (Rimesh.patel@ietvolunteer.org) Quantum technology is transforming security networks by introducing qubit-based architecture, which can outperform traditional computers in solving complex problems. These quantum computers can tackle encryption systems that would typically take conventional computers decades to crack. This advancement has sparked a focus on developing “post-quantum cryptography,” a new level of encryption designed to safeguard data from the power of quantum computing. Global research is intensively exploring this area, with experts predicting that within a decade, large-scale quantum computers may be capable of breaking most public-key cryptosystems, the backbone of today's internet security. This presents a dual challenge: not only a security issue but also a significant privacy concern, particularly when it involves personal information. Governments are especially vigilant, aware that adversaries could collect encrypted data now, only to decrypt it later when quantum technology becomes viable. Combined with the potential misuse of Generative AI to amplify cyber-attacks, the urgency to protect sensitive information from future quantum threats has intensified the race to innovate secure cryptographic solutions. In this talk, Raj will discuss the rapid rise in A.I & Cyber Security, Machine Learning & Detection of Threats and post-quantum cryptography to secure data. His talk will highlight opportunities and future visions in this field.
