9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
16. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
17. Partnerships for the Goals
Targets: Our session focuses on strengthening digital security by advocating for the adoption of ICT security standards without imposing extra costs. By pushing for standardized security measures across industries, we contribute to: - Safer and more inclusive digital infrastructure (SDG 9) by encouraging best practices in cybersecurity; - Protection against cybercrime (SDG 16) by ensuring that ICT vendors and organizations implement security-by-design measure; - More resilient global partnerships (SDG 17) by fostering collaboration between stakeholders to develop and enforce security policies effectively.
Roundtable
The session aims at lanching, and discussing the finding, of a report on post-quantum encryption. AFNIC and IS3C will present not only the potential harms to society at large but also present the current state of affairs in different countries and the choices decision-makers face before the advent of quantum. This includes the consequences for the Internet of Things security and the need to agree on the policy and deployment of post-quantum encryption.
Quantum computing is rapidly evolving from theoretical research to practical implementation, promising to revolutionize industries from healthcare to finance—and redefining the landscape of global cybersecurity in the process. As nations and corporations race to unlock the power of quantum, critical questions arise: How will quantum breakthroughs disrupt current encryption methods? What international norms and collaborations are needed to manage emerging risks? And where do the greatest opportunities lie for advancing security in a quantum future? The societal implications could be huge, if a) those working on development of quantum do not have safety precautions built in by design before the launch of quantum computing and b) those working policy development and legislation do not make a timely decision on the deployment of these policies.
In this launch event AFNIC and IS3C offer the opportunity to all relevant stakeholders (industry, policymakers, technical community, consumer organisations and academia) to look ahead and learn what decisions they are facing and to discuss the future: a) what the next iteration of this project could be. This includes a debate around the prevention of negative and widespread socio-economic impacts, b) how to create a network around the topic, c) how to create more traction around its outcomes and, d) the next steps towards proliferation of the results. The emergence of quantum computing presents both unprecedented opportunities but also significant risks for our future society.
