Securing Cryptography in the Quantum Computing Era

DesignCon keynote will discuss challenges of developing cryptography standards that withstand quantum computing attacks.  Keynote session speaker Aydin Aysu, Assistant Professor and Head of the Hardware Cybersecurity Research Lab (HECTOR) at Electrical & Computer Engineering Department of North Carolina University, says that quantum computers have the potential to break existing cryptography algorithms, which in some cases date back 40 years. “We have mathematical evidence this can potentially occur,” Aysu told Design News in an interview.
