Post-Quantum Cryptography: From Algorithms to Adoption

Curious about the future of tech?
Quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography aren’t just buzzwords. They’re reshaping how we think about computation and security. At Java Colombo, We’re bringing together two incredible minds who are redefining the boundaries of technology:

🔹 Prof. Frank Leymann
Frank, has been a full professor of computer science at the University of Stuttgart, Germany since 2004. He is also the founder and director of the Institute of Architecture of Application Systems. His research interests include middleware, cloud computing, quantum computing, and pattern languages. Before joining the university, he worked at IBM, serving in software development roles. He was also the main co-inventor and chief software architect of IBM's business process management and workflow products. He has received recognition for his technical contributions from leading organizations and is an elected member of the Academy of Europe as well as the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. He holds appointments as a member of the Expert Council for Quantum Computing of the German Government and as a Kurt Gödel visiting professor for Quantum Computing at TU Wien.

🔹 Mr. Udara Pathum
Udara is a Senior Software Engineer at WSO2 with over five years of experience in software development, with a particular focus on Identity and Access Management (IAM). At WSO2, he has contributed to the design and implementation of secure and scalable backend and full-stack systems, primarily using Java. His professional interests include cryptography, secure protocol design, and emerging areas such as post-quantum cryptography and quantum computing. Alongside his engineering work, he is an active technical writer and engages with the broader research and developer community through contributions in the fields of cybersecurity and quantum technologies.

This isn’t a typical tech talk. It’s a deep dive into where the future is heading, from the fundamentals of quantum theory to the realities of implementing secure systems in a post-quantum world.

The session will be interactive, insightful, and open to anyone passionate about where technology is going next. Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity.

See you there, and don’t forget to RSVP!
