Rambus | Post-Quantum Cryptography, Protecting Data and Systems in the Quantum Computing Era

Quantum computing is no longer a distant possibility—it’s a transformative technology that poses a paradigm-shifting challenge to classical cryptography. Widely used encryption algorithms that protect sensitive federal data could be at risk, and understanding how to stay “quantum safe” has never been more critical. Join the SCMC and Rambus Federal's, Scott Best, for an insightful webinar where we’ll break down the emerging risks posed by quantum-capable adversaries. Attendees will gain a clear overview of how quantum computing impacts RSA, ECC, and other commonly used cryptographic protocols, as well as how federal initiatives—like NIST’s Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standardization and NSA’s Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) 2.0 suite—are shaping the path forward. This session will cover essential strategies for the quantum era, including crypto agility, hybrid cryptographic approaches, migration planning, and risk prioritization for long-lifetime data. You’ll leave with practical insights on the current quantum threat landscape, future-proofing strategies, and implementation guidance aligned with White House directives and evolving federal standards. Prepare to deepen your understanding, plan for the future, and stay ahead in the quantum-safe journey.
