Andrew Regenscheid
Supervisor, Cryptographic Technology Group NIST
Andrew Regenscheid is the manager of the Cryptographic Technology Group within the Computer Security Division at NIST. In his 15 years at NIST, Andrew has worked to apply cryptographic algorithms and tools to improve the security of computer platforms, communication protocols, and authentication mechanisms. He currently leads NIST’s development of cryptographic standards and guidelines, which includes efforts on post-quantum cryptography, lightweight block ciphers and hash functions, and privacy-enhancing cryptography. Andrew holds a B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Luther College, and a M.S. in Information Assurance from Iowa State University.
CRYPTOGRAPHY SPOTLIGHT
3:50 PM Preparing to Secure Systems against the Quantum Threat
This panel will delve into the growing awareness within national governments about the looming threat of quantum computing to traditional cryptographic systems. It will explore how governments are acknowledging the need to proactively address this challenge to secure sensitive data and national interests. Attendees will gain insights into the policy frameworks and investment strategies that governments are adopting to bolster their quantum cryptography capabilities.
Key issues addressed
- Where do federal institutions and national governments stand on the harvest now, decrypt later debate?
- How are national governments working together to drive standardisation and interoperability?
- What are the practical challenges and solutions governments face when integrating quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques into their existing systems?
- What are the current complexities of transitioning to quantum-safe encryption methods and securing critical infrastructure?
