Harnessing AI and Post-Quantum Cryptography for Cybersecurity in the Quantum Era

Explore quantum computing's impact on cybersecurity through this 26-minute conference talk that examines the intersection of artificial intelligence and post-quantum cryptography. Learn about the imminent threats quantum computing poses to current encryption standards and understand the critical "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attack scenario where adversaries collect encrypted data today to decrypt it once quantum computers become capable. Compare various AI models designed for anomaly detection in cybersecurity contexts and discover quantum-resistant encryption methods that can protect against future quantum attacks. Gain insights into preparing cybersecurity infrastructure for the quantum era through the expertise of speakers Natalia Semenova and Anushka Khare, presented at BSidesLV's Proving Ground in Firenze.
