The Superposition Podcast: Recent Episodes

Jim Schwoebel

Welcome to the Superposition Podcast, a podcast where the stories of members of the security community talk about life in the post-quantum cryptography world. We hit on a range of topics such as penetrating testing, new quantum threats, and emergent quantum encryption standards. We frame these problems through personal stories, and we hope to encourage you to get more involved in this emerging field.

This podcast is sponsored by the QuForce, the world’s leading community for post-quantum cryptography and white hat hacking.

Description of Podcast


This is the third episode of the Superposition podcasting interviewing Dave Krauthamer, the CEO of QuSecure. QuSecure’s mission is to simultaneously protect both enterprise and government data from quantum and classical cybersecurity threats. Their patent pending, quantum-safe solutions provide an easy transition path to quantum resilience across your organization.

Here are some questions answered on this episode:

1) what is post-quantum cryptography?

2) why is it an important time to learn about post-quantum cryptography?

3) what are some interesting parallels for post-quantum cryptography to philosophers throughout history?

4) who is it that is most interested in post-quantum cryptography now (e.g. enterprise customers)?

Episode 2: Introducing the Standard Task Force (Konstantin Vilk, CTO QuSecure)


This podcast hosts Konstantin Vilk, the CTO of QuSecure. Konstantin has spent over 20 years in CISO-link roles within enterprises in the financial services sector. He brings a plethora of insight about how to build zero-trust networks within a post-quantum world. Moreover, he is leading up the standards task force within the QuForce, which is helping to facilitate industry standards around quantum-based encryption methods.

By listening to this podcast, you'll get the answers to the following questions:

1) are we ready for emerging quantum threats to networks and enterprises (especially the financial sector)?

2) how should we go about building quantum-resilient networks/systems?

3) what datasets exist out there to study quantum threats?

4) how can we go about creating industry consortiums to collaborate on building quantum encryption standards?

5) how do I get involved in the Standards Task Force within the QuForce?

6) what initiatives are ongoing within the Standards Task force within the QuForce?
