Keynote 1 

Build Quantum-Safe 6G Network, Dr. Lily (Lidong) Chen

Abstract- Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is the cornerstone to build quantum-safe 6G network. This presentation will introduce NIST PQC standardization effort and discuss PQC applications in 6G network security.

Lidong Chen is a mathematician and heads Cryptographic Technology Group in Computer Security Division, NIST. Her team has been developing cryptographic standards published in Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and NIST Special Publications (SP). The team is currently devoted to developing next generation cryptography standards, including post-quantum cryptography, lightweight cryptography for constrained environment, and approaches multiple advanced cryptographic areas. Her areas of research include cryptographic protocols, zero-knowledge proof, special featured digital signature schemes, network security, and security for wireless and mobility. Dr. Chen has ten-year experience with industry in cryptography application and telecommunications before joining NIST. She has actively contributed to various industry and international standards such as IEEE 802 and ISO/IEC JTC1 SC27. Her academic and industry experience motivated the co-authored book “Communication System Security” which was published in 2012 by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group and used as a textbook for relevant undergraduate and graduate courses.

Session5 14:20-14:40

Keynote 2 

Trustworthy 6GDr. Anand R. Prasad

Abstract- In this talk we will look at security and privacy aspects associated to 6G thus bringing trustworthy 6G to everyone. The talk will present thoughts from the perspective of potential use-cases, possible standatdization directions and global trends. In this talk we will look at security and privacy aspects associated to 6G thus bringing trustworthy 6G to everyone.
