The Road to Quantum-Ready IoT: Building Trust in the Post-Quantum Era

Quantum computing and artificial intelligence are poised to redefine the future of computing. While AI is accelerating the creation of increasingly intelligent systems, quantum computing has the potential to transform what is computationally possible while simultaneously challenging the cryptographic foundations that underpin digital trust. This session explores the journey from quantum computing fundamentals and post-quantum cryptography to the practical realities of building quantum-ready IoT platforms. The discussion examines the architectural tradeoffs of deploying post-quantum security in resource-constrained silicon, migration strategies from legacy to next-generation trust architectures, and how the convergence of AI, quantum computing, and IoT is reshaping the future of trusted connected systems.
