“Three decades ago, three promising technologies emerged: AI, cryptography, and quantum computing. While
AI has exceeded expectations, cryptography has played a pivotal role in securing the internet. Quantum
computing, on the other hand, holds the promise of revolutionizing computing and delivering remarkable
benefits for humanity. The future presents an exciting duel between cryptography and the realization of
powerful quantum computers.”

In order for the Internet to fully unleash its potential as a platform for information sharing, diverse e-commerce
endeavours, and remote private interactions, the public must have confidence that their transactions will be
confidential and protected. Whether accessing personal data in online public databases, making a credit card
purchase or holding online voting, the public must trust that the Internet is a secure place to do business. The
bedrock of public trust is established on a science that has been employed for centuries - cryptography. Once
confined to military, diplomatic, and governmental spheres, cryptography has now emerged as the pivotal
cornerstone in realizing security within our interconnected world.
