Description

Swift advancement of digital networks, especially with the introduction of 5G technology, brings with it the critical need for enhanced cybersecurity measures. This presentation delves into the modernization of cybersecurity tactics by integrating Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and quantum cryptography within 5G networks, as demonstrated by SKT's innovative efforts in securing 5G connectivity. We will examine how quantum technology, particularly QKD, presents a revolutionary approach to overcoming cybersecurity challenges, ensuring unparalleled security in data transmission. The emphasis will be on deploying these technologies from customer endpoints to the core of the 5G network, thereby reinforcing the entire communication framework against existing and emerging cyber threats. 

Session Objectives:

  • Learn about the transformative impact of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and quantum cryptography on cybersecurity, especially in 5G networks.
  • Hear about real-world implementations, like SKT's use of quantum-safe technologies in 5G networks, to demonstrate the practical challenges and benefits of these advancements in actual scenarios.

Understand future trends in quantum computing and the impact on cybersecurity to prepare for emerging cyber threats and the importance of early adoption of quantum technologies for enhancing digital security.
