SUMMARY:QKD or PQC: when quantum key distribution is worth deploying – Free Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A free one-hour webinar from Quantum Academy and Applied Quantum on when quantum key distribution (QKD) is worth deploying\, and when post-quantum cryptography does the job on its own. \nQKD and post-quantum cryptography protect keys in different ways\, and national security agencies take different positions on QKD. \nOn October 20\, 2026\, MAS shared lessons from its QKD sandbox with HM Treasury. We cover what QKD protects and what it does not\, how it can work beside post-quantum cryptography\, and why countries disagree. \nFor network engineers and architects\, telecom and critical infrastructure security teams\, and CISOs evaluating QKD proposals. \nWhat we cover\n\nWhat QKD protects\, and the attacks and failures it does not address\nDistance\, hardware and trusted-node requirements in current deployments\nHow QKD and post-quantum cryptography can be combined\nWhy national security agencies take different positions on QKD\n\nThe format\n60 minutes\, live online from 14:00 to 15:00 UTC: about 45 minutes of teaching\, then 15 minutes for your questions. Registration is free\, and everyone who registers receives the recording. \nThe full courses are Certified Quantum Network Engineer (CQNE) Training and Quantum Networking and QKD Essentials. Dates and booking are on each course page. \nThis webinar is educational and informational\, and is not legal\, compliance\, or engineering advice. Quantum Academy certifications are private credentials – not government-issued licenses\, accredited degrees\, or academic credit\, and completion guarantees no employment\, promotion\, regulatory approval\, or specific outcome.
