SUMMARY:The Security of Post-Quantum Telco Networks\, or changing 10 billi
 on door-locks in 197 countries - Zygmunt A Lozinski\, IBM

DESCRIPTION:There are around 10 billion devices and systems in the world
 ’s telecom networks. In 1994 Peter Shor worked out how a theoretical qua
 ntum computer could factor numbers quickly\, and so break RSA and related 
 public key cryptosystems. Now we are planning for this eventuality. NIST r
 ecently selected 4 new Post-Quantum Cryptography algorithms to replace RSA
 \, DSA and ECDSA. Governments and civil society groups are recommending or
 ganizations should start to plan the implementation of Post-Quantum Crypto
 graphy. The Telecoms and Banking industries are taking a lead to create de
 tailed roadmaps to implement Post-Quantum Cryptography.  The GSMA (the tra
 de association of the world’s 1000-odd mobile operators) announced the c
 reation of a Post-Quantum Telco Network Task Force in September 2022. Impl
 ementing PQC across an industry means creating an end-to-end view of the c
 ryptographic landscape. A detailed inventory of  where and why cryptograph
 y is used in devices\, networks\, systems\, data-stores and interfaces. Th
 e thousands of open-source projects\, open standards and industry-specific
  recommendations that rely on cryptography. The vendor products that imple
 ment cryptographic algorithms\, sometimes invisibly. The business processe
 s. And then prioritising the changes. This talk will describe how the tele
 com industry will respond to this challenge. Eventually\, all industries w
 ill have to make similar changes. And one final question: how do we achiev
 e industry-wide crypto agility\, for the next time we need to update our c
 ryptosystems?
