Session Description

Pre-registration is encouraged to show your interest and save the time in your diary. 

Join us for an exclusive roundtable to discover the challenges and learnings and explore the cutting-edge advancements from the first Post Quantum algorithm implementations in the telco ecosystem. This is a fantastic opportunity to see firsthand Post Quantum Implementation of how the telco industry overcomes the challenges while the operators and mobile vendors are taking the first trials on the implementation of PQC algorithms in key telco use cases. In addition, we will explore new opportunities coming from those implementations. 

 

Demo 1: Securing IoT devices with PQC eSIM and maintaining state-of-the art security through crypto agility

The demonstration shows a proof of concept for an IoT deployment migration from classical security to Post-Quantum security thanks to PQC eSIM with cryptography agility capabilities.

Companies: IDEMIA Secure Transactions and Telefonica

Speaker: Benoit Collier, VP Product – Connectivity Services BU, IDEMIA Secure Transactions

 

Demo 2: Enabling quantum-safe EUDI wallet in future telecom network

The demo is about the PQC potential usage in the EUDI wallet within the telco network. the EU has published the eIDAS 2.0 and ETSI is working on technical standards. If the EUDI wallet is carried in the telco network, the security functions used in it will touch the migration of PQC or use PQC directly. The demo shows the quantum-safe EUDI wallet including its security features such as the verifiable credentials and digital identity, etc.

Company: Huawei

Speaker: Lun Li, Senior Engineer, Huawei

 

Demo 3: Securing Mobile Backhaul with Crypto Agile Quantum-safe VPN Solutions

This demo will showcase how Quantum-safe VPN solutions can protect mobile back-haul connections at scale today. Leveraging a combination of PQC (ML-KEM) and classical cryptographic key material, the solution provides a robust defense against current and future security threats. The openness and agility of the solution enables it to work with any quantum-safe key management entity, so network operators can choose best-in-class solutions, which align with the requirements of their specific use cases. And network operators can easily upgrade its components with new capabilities or swap them out as standards evolve, or their business requirements change. It also can be deployed in cloud environments, whether regional data centers, edge clouds, or the mobile far edge - cell site locations. The Quantum-safe VPN with Crypto Agility solution supports IPsec and MACsec VPNs and can be deployed now to secure existing network infrastructure from future quantum aided attacks.

Company: Juniper Networks and evolutionQ

Speaker: 

Steven Veneman, Director Service Provider Segment Marketing, Juniper Networks

Matt Jaksic, VP Sales and Partnerships, evolutionQ

 

Demo 4: Quantum-safe IPsec protection against future network security threats

Turkcell and Nokia have successfully implemented quantum-safe IPsec encryption in a live mobile transport network, marking a significant step in protecting mobile communications against future quantum threats. This demonstration integrated Nokia’s industry-leading IPsec Security Gateway into Turkcell’s mobile transport infrastructure, ensuring the protection of critical data through quantum-resistant encryption techniques. By deploying quantum-safe cryptography, this initiative enhances the security of existing networks while preparing for the post-quantum era. For end users, this means their mobile communications remain secure both today and in the future, safeguarding sensitive data from potential quantum-based attacks.

Companies: Turkcell and Nokia

Speaker:

Azfar Aslam, Vice President & CTO Network Infrastructure, Europe, Nokia

Mehmet Durmus, IP Network Associate Director, Turkcell
