Preparing Critical Infrastructure for a Post-Quantum Computing World [CC]
Nation-states are actively pursuing quantum computing that threaten to break cryptographic standards. As a result, the federal government and U.S. Department of Defense must pursue a course of action to future-proof its IT infrastructure the technology and stay ahead of its adversaries, including any an emphasis on cryptographic agility, to reduce the time to contract and implement the technology, and to allow for seamless updates for future cryptographic standards. Learn from industry experts discussing what actions the DOD can take to future-proof its IT infrastructure.

Closed Captioned.
Nation-states are actively pursuing quantum computing that threaten to break cryptographic standards. However, due to the unique nature of Federal contracting, the Federal government is typically three to five years behind the private sector in IT infrastructure. While quantum computing technology capable of breaking current encryption algorithm does not yet exist, government and critical infrastructure entities must prepare for a new post-quantum cryptographic standard to defend against future threats against critical infrastructure. As a result, the White House released a Memorandum in May 2022 directing specific actions for agencies to take as the United States begins the multi-year process of migrating vulnerable computer systems to quantum-resistant cryptography.
This panel discusses what actions DoD can take to future-proof its IT infrastructure the technology and stay ahead of its adversaries, including any an emphasis on cryptographic agility, to reduce the time to contract and implement the technology, and to allow for seamless updates for future cryptographic standards.
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to
- Describe the threats posed by quantum computing on current encryption.
- Explain the impact on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of critical infrastructure when adversaries gain access to quantum computing technology capable of breaking current encryption algorithm.
- Recognize the agility in contracting needed to timely migrate vulnerable computer systems to quantum-resistant cryptography and the agility in contracting.
