Securing Data in the Quantum Era - From Root of Trust to Protecting Ecosystems

Learn about securing data against quantum computing threats in this 37-minute technical talk from PKI Consortium's Chief Technology Officer. Explore how Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) integrate Post-Quantum Cryptographic (PQC) algorithms to establish a foundation for quantum-era security. Discover the critical role of HSMs in automating key distribution for complex hash-based signature algorithms while providing hardware acceleration for modern cryptographic needs. Examine how security systems combine software and hardware components to implement Post Quantum primitives across Key Management, PKI, and File & Folder Encryption systems. Gain practical insights from an ongoing research project focused on securing inter-banking systems, including real-world challenges and solutions. Master the fundamental concepts of cryptographic components, their practical applications in security solutions, and the essential steps needed to protect entire ecosystems from quantum computer attacks on contemporary cryptography.
