Powerful collaborations, cutting-edge science, and curious minds coming together for a glimpse of the future.

Stay tuned as we look at the latest updates on some of the most promising technology projects.

Welcome to our program. I'm Peter Ballant from Technicon and today we are talking about the

future TPM project once again. As the name implies, this project is all about preparing for the future.

To be more specific, we're talking about the future of cryptographic security in computing.

To understand the importance of this project, you should know that cryptographic security

is a cornerstone in our modern world.

It's simply everywhere.

And this includes in the TPM or trusted platform module that keeps your laptop safe, or the

server that transfers your bank data.

TPMs are ubiquitous, and why? Because they work. But they won't always work. You see,

quantum computing is coming. Computationally, quantum computers are exponentially faster than anything

we know. Today's TPM can't possibly perform in this environment.

The Future TPM project is the proactive approach that will help ensure that today's TPM algorithms

will work in a post-quantam world.

In other words, future TPM is contributing to the quantum resistant TPM. Today we are joined by

Thanassus Gianatus from the Technical University of Denmark. He's a technical lead in future

TPM. Thanks for talking with us today. And here we are talking about future TPM again. Tell us what's

it all about. This is a project that mainly tries to create new security protocols in the context of

trusted computing. That will be able to also operate correctly in the post-quantum era.

What we mean by this is that we all know, or most of the people know, that in the next,

I will say, 10 to 15 years, quantum computers will be available. This means that most of the traditional cybersecurity algorithms and crypto primitives that we are currently using are going to be broken.
