Quantum computing demystified: A beginner's guide and cybersecurity implications 🇫🇷
This talk will give an understanding of basic quantum computing principles, the importance of PQC, the role of QKD in secure communications, and the transformative impact of quantum technologies on the cybersecurity landscape. We will overview the concepts of quantum computing, by providing a foundational understanding for beginners and explore the implications for cybersecurity. 1. Basics of quantum computing: explanation of key concepts: qubits, superposition, entanglement, quantum gates. 2. Introduction to quantum programming (Q#) with simple examples 3. Quantum computing and cybersecurity: – Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): – Quantum Key Distribution (QKD): 4. Quantum Attacks and Cybersecurity Implications: What is possible today an in the (near) future with the threat posed by quantum computers to current encryption standards?
Robin DescampsRobin is a consultant and ethical hacker leading and executing penetration testing, red & purple teaming, and security research projects for various clients, aiming to identify their cyber vulnerabilities and mitigate their risks. He contributed to improving the security of several companies, such as Deutsche Telekom, BMC Software, and Pydio, by uncovering and reporting multiple 0-day vulnerabilities. He recently got interest in quantum computing security, being involved in several related events. His classic background allows him to demistify quantum computing from a “classic hacker” point of view rather than a specialised researcher.
