Upcoming Talk at University of Maryland: Cryptography at a Crossroads

We’re excited to announce that Dr Mirek Sopek, a core contributor at Quantum Blockchains and its founder, will be presenting a lecture titled:

“Cryptography in the Age of Quantum and AI: Challenges, Threats, and Opportunities”

Location: University of Maryland, AE Conference Room
Time: Monday, March 31st, 1:00–2:00 PM

This talk explores the evolving landscape of cybersecurity through the lens of modern cryptography, from its classical foundations to future-proof strategies.

Agenda Highlights:

• Cryptography as the foundation of digital trust
• Classical digital ciphers and the myth of unbreakability
• Quantum computing and AI as emerging cryptographic threats
• Mitigation strategies: Post-Quantum and Quantum Cryptography
• Real-world vulnerabilities in modern infrastructure — including aviation systems
• Strategic opportunities in building secure, future-resilient systems

The presentation will be followed by an open Q&A and discussion on collaborative research opportunities.
