Quantum-Safe Finance: Preparing for the Storm 2019 | Secure Chorus Ltd | 1 May 2019 | Level39, One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5AB, UK

Secure Chorus will be hosting a Thought Leadership Platform (TLP), bringing together experts in post-quantum cryptography. The interactive session will consider approaches to the threat posed by the emergence of quantum computing. Quantum-related technologies have the potential to massively disrupt the financial services industry in: algorithmic trading, fraud detection, and encryption and transaction security. But quantum computers also promise to change the fundamental security models financial services rely upon.

When assessing the security of a cryptographic system, it is necessary to consider how long it will be deployed and the lifetime of the data that it will protect. It’s then necessary to determine whether the computational resources that may become available within the system’s lifetime will undermine the required level of security. For many systems, and particularly for financial services systems that protect long-lived data, this means looking ahead several decades. How can the financial services industry best prepare to transition to quantum-safe cryptography?
