The vulnerability of digital society is in part the result of our dependence on data encryption, and concerns privacy in online messaging, browsing, data storage, signatures and identity verification, hardware and critical infrastructures, financial transactions and public services. During this event, different experts will evaluate policy proposals and research centred on post-quantum cryptography for preserving privacy, fundamental rights, and the digital infrastructures on which society relies. They will examine questions of EU law and policy, sovereignty, and governance. Ultimately, the panel will explore the high-stakes struggle for security in the post-quantum era, in which national governments, big tech, and the military are contending to become quantum-ready before any abuse of power arises.
