Session description

Speaker: Jürgen Stierhof 

The presentation demonstrates how Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) can address this threat: Where should QKD be used, and where PQC? How can QKD and PQC be effectively combined to rapidly achieve optimal security and protect data in transit for the future? How can these goals be realized while maintaining European technological sovereignty?
