Title: Open Source Solutions for Quantum Threats: Lightway's Contribution

Abstract:

--------------

In a world where data security is paramount, quantum computing is shaking the foundations of encryption. Join us on a journey through the quantum realm, where we'll explore the vulnerabilities of classical encryption, especially the 'Store Now, Decrypt Later' issue. We'll delve into the potential risks to your data's privacy and integrity in a post-quantum world.

But this presentation isn't just about problems; it's about solutions. We'll introduce the concept of post-quantum cryptography, discussing why it's the key to safeguarding our digital infrastructure against quantum threats.
Highlighting Lightway, a compelling success story, we'll reveal how we've achieved seamless integration of quantum-resistant algorithms at scale (millions of active users). By combining wolfSSL and Open Quantum Safe, two amazing Open Source projects, Lightway stands as a shining example of how the open-source community can bring quantum-resistant solutions to the forefront.
We'll emphasize the importance of collective action. In a world where data is our most precious asset, addressing quantum threats is a community effort. We'll explore the role of collaboration, open-source development, and proactive security measures in mitigating quantum risks.

Bio of Pete Membrey

Peter Membrey is the Chief Engineer (VPN Tech) at ExpressVPN and has been with the company since 2016. He is the creator of Lightway , a state of the art Open Source VPN protocol that protects millions of users every day with a focus on security and privacy. He was also one of the core creators of TrustedServer, the VPN industry’s first true RAM only server.

Peter is also a Chartered Fellow of the British Computer Society, a Chartered IT Professional and a Chartered Engineer. He has a doctorate in engineering and a masters degree specializing in Information Security. He has co-authored over a dozen technical books and a number of research papers on a variety of topics. He is also an IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Contributor, has written for the IT Professionals New Zealand Blog and has appeared on national TV in New Zealand to offer insights into cyber security.

Although he works in industry, he remains very interested in academia and is actively looking for opportunities to conduct research and work with academics and students in the privacy field. His primary focus at the moment is Internet Privacy and the technologies that make that possible. His role is primary R&D and hopes to publish papers in peer reviewed journals in the near future. He is also looking at founding a VPN industry centric conference.

Apart from this, he is also interested in time synchronization, particularly dealing with variable latency networks.
