    A Cryptopocalypse in Brussels?

    Quantum computing is no longer a theoretical threat – It’s a strategic reality. In this episode, originally produced by The Quantum Space, we dive into one of Europe’s most pressing digital challenges: how to secure trust, sovereignty, and competitiveness in the post-quantum era. Host Anna Keller speaks with Steve Atkins, Publisher and Editor of The Quantum Space and co-author together with Wibu-Systems of the whitepaper Sovereign by Design: How Europe Can Secure Its Digital Future in the Post-Quantum Age. The conversation builds on the high-level expert roundtable moderated by Atkins at Wibu-Systems’ INNO DAYS, bringing together voices from academia, semiconductor manufacturing, enterprise software, and cybersecurity. Together, they explore: Why the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is a today problem, not a future oneThe real risks behind “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks and long-term data exposureEurope’s coordinated roadmap for PQC migration, and what it means for industryDigital sovereignty as more than regulation: a combination of technology, governance, and executionWhy secure software protection and licensing are foundational to Europe’s innovation economyHow regulation such as the Cyber Resilience Act can become a competitive advantage, or a bottleneckThe episode also features insights from the INNO DAYS roundtable, including perspectives from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Infineon Technologies, SAP, and Wibu-Systems, highlighting how post-quantum readiness, secure licensing, and trusted execution environments intersect in real industrial deployments. This episode reframes quantum security not just as a cybersecurity challenge, but as a core pillar of Europe’s digital and economic sovereignty, where trust is not promised, but engineered. 🎧 Credits & origin This episode was first aired on The Quantum Space Podcast – Innovating Trust and is republished here with authorization. Editorial concept and original production by The Quantum Space, in collaboration with Wibu-Systems. 📄 Further reading The whitepaper Sovereign by Design: How Europe Can Secure Its Digital Future in the Post-Quantum Age is available for free via The Quantum Space.

    Quantum Computing & Digital Sovereignty: Building Secure and Independent IT Infrastructure

    Quantum computing and artificial intelligence are reshaping the digital world — and with them, the very foundations of cybersecurity and sovereignty. How do we protect sensitive data against “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks? How do we balance innovation with regulation in Europe’s dense legislative environment? And what role does energy, geopolitics, and harmonization play in this global race? At Wibu-Systems’ INNO DAYS 2025 roundtable, four experts came together to answer these questions: Prof. Dr. Joern Mueller-Quade, Professor for IT Security at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and IT Security chairman at the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science (ITI)Dr. Detlef Houdeau, Senior Director Business Development, Infineon Technologies AGThomas Depeweg, Chief Product Manager, SAP Deutschland SE & Co. KGOliver Winzenried, CEO and Founder of WIBU-SYSTEMS AG The discussion explores: The urgency of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) migration and the risks of delay.The impact of AI on licensing, entitlement, and trust in digital assets.Europe’s regulatory landscape, from the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) to eIDAS 2.0, the Digital Business Passport, the Digital Product Passport, and the AI Act.The challenge of Europe’s high energy costs, and how sovereignty might be maintained in a world of global data centers.Practical strategies for industry, SMEs, academia, and government to act now and prepare for 2027, 2030, and beyond. This roundtable is more than a technical debate. It is a roadmap for Europe’s secure and independent digital future — where sovereignty means not isolation, but competence, collaboration, and control. 👉 Listen now to hear how KIT, Infineon, SAP, and Wibu-Systems see the path forward.
