Title: Post Quantum Cryptography: Challenges, Opportunities and Beyond

Abstract: Recent years have seen significant strides in the development of quantum computers, which promises to usher in a new era for computing. However, with the advent of quantum computing, cryptography comes under serious threat, as most modern cryptosystems can be broken by quantum computers. In this talk we will discuss ways in which scientists are addressing this challenge.
