[TECH&FEST] Quantum Cybersecurity: A Race Against Time

Quantum technologies are set to profoundly transform global cybersecurity. Within the next 10 to 15 years, today’s encryption systems are expected to become vulnerable to quantum attacks. The threat is already tangible: encrypted data is being collected today with the aim of decrypting it tomorrow, once quantum computers reach sufficient maturity.

This roundtable, held as part of Tech & Fest, will explore how Europe is preparing for the post-quantum era. Discussions will focus on key solutions such as post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, and the role of international standards in securing future digital infrastructures.

Speakers:

• Mikael Carmona, Head of Hardware Security Division, CEA-Leti, Deputy Director of the Grenoble Alpes Cybersecurity Institute

• Karine Bannelier, Université Grenoble Alpes, Director of the Grenoble Alpes Cybersecurity Institute

• Carlos Moreira, CEO, SEALSQ and IC’ALPS

Moderator:

• Jean-Luc Raymond, Le Dauphiné Libéré
