ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference 2026 includes a session titled “Global, quantum-safe networks and test beds enabled by satellite.” The page presents Session 3.1 with a focus on QKD (quantum key distribution).
The session listing shows the session format and timing within the conference (Session 3.1: QKD, Thursday, Jun 18). It also notes that the presentations will be available after the event.
The session is geared toward connectivity and security stakeholders who need to understand practical paths toward quantum-safe networking, including how satellite-enabled test beds can support the transition from classical cryptography to quantum-safe approaches.
The page names Hugh Podmore as the speaker, representing Honeywell Aerospace. Hugh Podmore is described as a lead optical systems engineer and PhD physicist with over 15 years of experience in optical systems development for space missions, currently leading the optical payload team for the Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite.
No agenda items beyond the session title, QKD focus, and the named speaker are provided on the page.
