AGENDA DIGITALE (NETWORK 360) - QUANTUM REVOLUTION: DAL CERN LE SOLUZIONI PER LA CYBERSECURITY DEL FUTURO
In my article for Agenda Digitale (Network 360), titled Quantum Revolution: Dal CERN le Soluzioni per la Cybersecurity del Futuro, I examine how CERN and the wider European research constellation are pioneering new approaches to protect data against the formidable capabilities of quantum computation.
The discourse highlights the vulnerabilities embedded within prevailing encryption paradigms—most notably RSA and elliptic‑curve cryptography—when confronted with quantum algorithms capable of rendering classical security assumptions obsolete. Against this backdrop, the article extols the emergence of post‑quantum cryptographic architectures, situating them not merely as technical remedies but as emblematic of a new epoch in infrastructural resilience and anticipatory governance.
CERN’s work exemplifies how scientific innovation and supranational collaboration can converge to address systemic digital risks. By weaving together strands of quantum research, institutional foresight, and strategic coordination, the article argues that the guardianship of data in the quantum age is inseparable from broader questions of European technological sovereignty and global cybersecurity.
Ultimately, the piece serves as both a scholarly contribution and a clarion call: a reminder that preparing for quantum‑enabled threats is not a peripheral concern but a civilisational imperative, demanding resilient architectures, coordinated governance, and sustained scientific investment.
