LFDT Ontario

Join us for a webinar with Alastria, an LFDT associate member, for an inside look at ISBE (Infraestructura de Servicios Blockchain de España). As Europe’s first national, public-permissioned blockchain infrastructure designed for regulatory compliance, ISBE is built on Besu to meet EU digital single market standards. The session will explore how ISBE solves critical challenges, such as GDPR-compliant immutability, identity frameworks aligned with the EUDI Wallet, and smart contract governance. Gain practical insights into a production-ready ecosystem that balances institutional accountability with private-sector innovation. Sign up to see how ISBE is setting the standard for compliant decentralized infrastructure in Europe.

The webinar will take place on Wednesday, May 13th at 7AM PT / 10AM ET / 16:00 CEST / 07:30 PM IST

Quantum computing is no longer a distant threat. Improvements in hardware design, new algorithmic breakthroughs, and expert surveys now put a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer sooner than the industry is prepared for. Elliptic curve signatures and key exchange, RSA, and many ZK proof systems are vulnerable, where they underpin not just blockchains, but financial infrastructure, identity systems, enterprise software, and the internet itself.

However, the industry isn't standing still. In this workshop, Zain Cheng (CTO, Horizen Labs) and Tommaso Gagliardoni (Cryptography Research Manager, Horizen Labs) will give the LFDT community a comprehensive look at where the quantum migration stands today across blockchain ecosystems, traditional finance, government, and enterprise, and what you can do to prepare regardless of the stack you're building on.

The Threat Landscape: What quantum computers actually break, and what they don't. Shor's algorithm and elliptic curve cryptography. Grover's algorithm and symmetric/hash security. Why "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks make this urgent right now.
