TechTonic: A Practical Introduction to Post-Quantum Cryptography

Think quantum hacking is a distant threat? Think again. Right now, encrypted data is being harvested by hackers with the hope that quantum computers will soon be powerful enough to crack today’s encryption. Post-quantum cryptography is our frontline defense, and the best part? It’s practical, accessible, and easier to understand than you might think.

Using chess and other relatable examples, Dave Hulbert (Principal Engineer, Strategy and Compliance at Passenger Technology Group) and co will break down how quantum computers are set to disrupt encryption—and, more importantly, how to future-proof your systems against these coming threats.
