Tune in to be in the know as Craig Hill, Mike Luken, and Andy Stewart  explore the crucial role of quantum safe cryptography as we approach the quantum computing era and its potential impact on current encryption methods. Discover what you need to know and how Cisco is leading the way in delivering quantum safe cryptography.

The discussion begins with an overview of the urgent need to migrate to post-quantum cryptography. In the U.S., Federal agencies have been mandated by National Security Memorandum 10 to transition their cryptographic systems to withstand quantum computing attacks by 2035. This directive, enforced by the President's Office, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the Office of the National Cyber Director, aims to mitigate future risks posed by quantum computers.

Globally, governments, financial institutions, hospitals, and other entities requiring secure information protection are also taking steps to incorporate quantum-safe cryptography. Although quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption do not yet exist, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with over 100 countries and experts, has recently released the first three finalized Post-Quantum Encryption Standards.

Listen in as Craig, Mike, and Andy delve into the nuances, needs, and technical details of quantum safe cryptography, and learn how Cisco is preparing for the post-quantum world.

In this episode of "AI with Shaily," your host Shailendra Kumar takes listeners on an exciting journey into the fascinating world of Quantum AI. 🌌 The discussion kicks off with the introduction of Quantinuum’s innovative Generative Quantum AI framework, which utilizes quantum-generated data. This advancement promises to revolutionize various industries, particularly in developing new medicines and predicting stock market trends in unprecedented ways, all thanks to the powerful H2 quantum computer. 💊📈

Shaily shares an intriguing fact about quantum computers, emphasizing their ability to not just think but also "leap," showcasing the rapid advancements in this field. He highlights QuEra Computing's impressive financial position, boasting over $230 million, which sets the stage for significant collaborations with financial sectors, potentially transforming stock market dynamics. 💰

However, with these advancements come challenges, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. Shaily discusses the looming "quantum threat" that could undermine current encryption methods, likening them to a fragile house of cards. To combat this, he introduces the concept of quantum cryptography, which promises to secure data with robust defenses, ensuring safer communications in a tech-driven world. 🔒

The conversation further emphasizes the intersection of quantum technology and AI, likening it to an exhilarating dance party where cybersecurity must be vigilant to avoid missteps. Shaily warns that AI-driven attacks are evolving rapidly, making it crucial for security measures to keep pace. 🕺💃

As a bonus tip, Shaily encourages listeners to stay informed about quantum developments as they begin to permeate everyday technology, serving as a reminder of the future that lies ahead. He concludes with an inspiring quote about the potential of quantum entanglement and invites listeners to engage with him on various platforms like YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium. 📲

Shailendra Kumar wraps up the episode by urging everyone to keep questioning and exploring the limitless possibilities of AI, leaving listeners eager for the next exploration into Quantum AI wonders. Until next time, he signs off, inviting all to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI. 🚀
