<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: The GSM Association (GSMA<\/a>) has formed a Post-Quantum Telco Network Taskforce<\/a> with IBM<\/a> and Vodafone<\/a> as its initial members to help define policy, regulation, and standardization for the enhanced protection of telecoms in advanced quantum computing<\/a>.

“The GSMA Post-Quantum Telco Network Taskforce will help define requirements, identify dependencies and create the roadmap to implement quantum-safe networking, mitigating the risks associated with future, more-powerful quantum computers,” the London-based telco body said in a media statement.

This follows the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announcing in July that it had chosen the first four post-quantum cryptography algorithms to be standardized for cybersecurity in the quantum computing era.

IBM, “a leader in cryptography and pioneer in quantum technology – with the world’s largest fleet of cloud-accessible quantum computers”, contributed to the development of three of NIST’s four chosen post-quantum algorithms, the GSMA said.

It cited the
World Economic Forum<\/a> (WEF), which estimates that more than 20 billion digital devices will need to be either upgraded or replaced in the next 10-20 years to use the new forms of quantum-safe encrypted communication.

“The GSMA Taskforce’s goal is to bring together leading global communication services providers with experts from IBM, Vodafone and other operators and ecosystem partners to understand and implement quantum-safe technology,” said Alex Sinclair, the GSMA’s Chief Technology Officer.

“By working together to establish consistent policies, we can define quantum-safe approaches that protect critical infrastructure and customer data, complementing our ongoing security efforts to increase resiliency in future networks,” he added.
