La Cátedra Internacional de Ciberseguridad UNIZAR organiza un seminario de investigación con Adriana Suárez, profesora de la Universidad de León (ULE), titulada "Cryptography in the quantum era". La actividad se celebrará el lunes, 1 de diciembre, a las 11:00 en el Aula A01 del Edificio Ada Byron, y abordará cómo la criptografía se adapta a la era cuántica y propone soluciones resistentes a esta tecnología.
Esta iniciativa se ha realizado en el marco de los fondos del Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia, financiada por la
Unión Europea (Next Generation), el proyecto del Gobierno de España que traza la hoja de ruta para la modernización de la economía española, la
recuperación del crecimiento económico y la creación de empleo, para la reconstrucción económica sólida, inclusiva y resiliente tras la crisis de la COVID19, y para responder a los retos de la próxima década
Resumen del seminario
Quantum technologies are bringing about a major transformation in the fields of cryptography and cybersecurity. This talk will present the essential concepts of quantum cryptography, explaining how certain quantum properties can be used to establish secure communication channels. It will also address the threats that future quantum computers pose to current classical cryptographic systems and why some of the most widely used schemes could be compromised. An overview of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) will be introduced, along with classical algorithms designed to remain secure even against adversaries with quantum capabilities. Current standardization efforts and practical considerations for migrating existing systems to quantum-resistant solutions will also be discussed.
