As AI workloads and sensitive data traverse vulnerable global fiber optic networks, enterprise IT teams face the rising threat of quantum computers capable of retroactively decrypting today’s encrypted traffic – “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later.” This session will demonstrate Qrypt’s practical tools and techniques for building quantum-safe, globally distributed infrastructure, without relying on traditional PKI. Pre-shared quantum key servers, distributed quantum key generation, and integration with Nvidia Bluefield-3 DPUs can secure your AI pipelines and multi-cloud environments against quantum attacks.
Qrypt CTO and co-founder, Denis Mandich, focuses on quantum security, R&D, post quantum encryption (PQC) algorithms and standards bodies. He holds several patents in cryptography, cyber technologies and information processing. Denis a founding member of the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C), a founding member of the NSF-funded Mid-Atlantic Quantum Alliance (MQA), founding member of the Center for Quantum Technologies (CQT), advisor to the Quantum Startup Foundry and Board member of quantum chip manufacturer Quside.
Prior to joining Qrypt, Denis served 20 years in the US Intel Community working on national security projects, cyber infrastructure, and advanced technology development. He has degrees in Physics from Rutgers University and speaks native level Croatian and Russian.
