Synopsis:

The amount of data that is being generated, stored, communicated, and analyzed is increasing at an exponential rate. Securing this data while in storage (or)  in communication (or) in the analysis is challenging. Emerging technologies make this task much more challenging. Quantum computing is such an emerging technology having large-scale computing capabilities and has the potential to solve some of the problems that conventional computing principles can not solve. With such potential, it can adversely disrupt the current security frameworks and, at the same time, address some of the pressing problems in security. This talk introduces threats and challenges in security due to quantum computing, addressing security challenges with quantum principles and developments in post-quantum cryptography
