Join us at Mastercard’s Dublin Tech Hub for Discovering Post-Quantum Cryptography, an evening dedicated to exploring how quantum technologies are reshaping the foundations of trust, privacy, and secure communications. As quantum computing advances, today’s cryptographic standards face unprecedented challenges. This event, **brought to you by Mastercard in partnership with IBM**, will bring together experts working at the forefront of quantum‑safe security, post‑quantum cryptography, and quantum key distribution to unpack what’s coming and what organizations should do now. From understanding the real‑world impact of the quantum threat to learning how industry is preparing for a post‑quantum future, this session combines strategic insight with practical perspective. Whether you work in cybersecurity, payments, data science, engineering or are simply curious about how quantum will redefine digital trust, this event offers a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and engage with the future of cryptography. **Why attend?** * **Hear from quantum and cryptography experts**: Gain insight from specialists shaping post‑quantum standards, quantum‑safe systems, and real‑world security applications. * **Understand the quantum security challenge**: Explore how quantum computing threatens existing cryptographic models - and what “harvest now, decrypt later” means in practice. * **Discover Mastercard’s approach**: Learn how Mastercard is actively preparing for the quantum era through research, standards leadership, and industry collaboration. * **Connect with the quantum ecosystem**: Network with innovators, researchers, technologists, and security leaders working to make our digital economy quantum‑safe in Ireland and beyond. **Speakers:** **[Kerem Varici](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerem-var%C4%B1c%C4%B1-93700379/) & [John Beric](https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-beric-54657092/) (Mastercard) – Preparing payments for a post-quantum world** Kerem and John bring together the foundations of post-quantum cryptography with the practical realities of EMV and payment card technology. This session bridges emerging PQC algorithms with what they could mean for chip-based payments, highlighting why the industry should be thinking about quantum readiness now. **[Jason Flood](https://www.linkedin.com/in/securityatibm/)** & **[Liher Elgezabal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liherelgezabal/) (IBM) with Mastercard – IBM Quantum Safe proof of concept** Jason and Lihir will join Mastercard to present a live proof of concept using IBM Quantum Safe Explorer. This session demonstrates how organisations can begin assessing their quantum readiness today through code analysis that identifies cryptographic hygiene issues and highlights potential vulnerabilities as we move toward quantum-safe environments. **[Dr Hazel Murray](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hazel-ms-murray/) (Munster Technological University - Quantum Physics: Unlocking the next generation of security** Dr Hazel Murray will explore how quantum physics is transforming cybersecurity - from the potential to break today's encryption standards to enabling the next generation of quantum-safe security. Her session frames the scientific foundations behind the shift and why organisations must prepare now.
