The 6th ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Workshop organized by ETSI in partnership with IQC and Chongqing University will take place on 06 to 08 November 2018 at the Beijing International Convention Center, China.
The event will start with an Executive Track on 6 November and will be followed by an in depth Technical Track on 7-8 November 2018.
As we increasingly rely on cyber technologies, we are ever more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The cybersecurity tools at the centre of protecting our business functions and information assets from cyber threats rely on cryptographic tools and standards that will be broken by emerging quantum technologies.
A new suite of tools resilient to quantum computers must be standardized and deployed in order to maintain reliable cyber systems and protect confidentiality.
This three-day workshop will bring together diverse players in the quantum-safe cybersecurity community to facilitate the knowledge exchange and collaboration required to transition cyber infrastructures and business practices to make them safe in an era with quantum computers.
All three workshop days are free of charge and open to those who wish to learn more about how we are all affected by the fast-evolving race to build a quantum computer.
Submission Guidelines
The programme committee is currently calling for contributions for the Technical Track on the topics listed below.
Additionally, there are 20 poster spaces available that will be shown during the technical track's networking breaks.
You may submit a Presentation Proposal or a Poster Proposal by 30 May 2018 using the provided templates.
The Programme Committee will build the full programme in June and it will be announced by mid July.
