The Future of Telco Security: Post Quantum Cryptography Use Cases in Action

Join this exclusive roundtable to explore the future of post-quantum security in telecoms.

Discover the challenges, lessons learned, and breakthrough advancements emerging from the first implementations of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms across the telco ecosystem. Hear firsthand how operators and mobile vendors are navigating early trials, addressing implementation challenges, and applying PQC to critical telecom use cases.

The session will also explore new opportunities created by these early deployments and what they mean for the future of secure networks.

Through live implementation insights and discussion, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of:

• Real-world PQC implementation challenges and lessons learned
• Early trials across key telecom use cases
• Potential gaps that require further industry collaboration
• Areas where additional guidance or documentation may be needed

This roundtable is designed to build industry awareness and foster collaboration as the telecom sector prepares for the post-quantum era.

Demo title: Industry’s first post-Quantum In-Factory Profile Provisioning (IFPP), Idemia  

Synposis: In collaboration, IDEMIA Secure Transactions, Acceleronix, and Tele2 IoT, are driving innovation with Industry’s first post-Quantum In-Factory Profile Provisioning (IFPP). This solution allows OEMs to securely load subscriptions directly in their factories, enabling a true single-SKU strategy, saving battery power on low-power IoT devices, and removing the need for complex MNO integrations. Built on the SGP.41 architecture and quantum-safe by design, the IFPP solution streamlines manufacturing and delivers simple, secure, out-of-the-box connectivity for the massive IoT era.

Demo title: Enabling Multiple key exchanges on post-quantum IPsec protocol of telecom network - presented by Lun Li, Senior Engineer, Huawei

Synposis: IPsec protocol provides encryption, authentication, data integrity for IP-layer communications in telecom system and it is used for securing connections such as those for the access network, security gateway and user plane. IPsec is rely on public-key algorithms which may be vulnerable to quantum computing attacks. In this showcase, we will demonstrate the establishment of a post-quantum secure IPsec through multiple key exchanges in the IKE (Internet Key Exchange) stage. The demonstration will focus on the algorithm negotiation and the exchange of keying material based on post-quantum algorithms between entities. Additionally, we will explain some industry best practices for selecting and configuring appropriate algorithms in telecom entities based on current specification.
